Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg predicts that smartphones will be largely replaced by smart glasses by the 2030s. He believes that smart glasses will become the primary computing platform, offering a more immersive and socially integrated experience.
Zuckerberg envisions a future where people rely on smart glasses for everyday tasks, keeping their smartphones in their pockets more often. This shift is driven by advancements in augmented reality (AR) and wearable technology, with companies like Meta and Apple investing heavily in developing smart glasses.
While smartphones will still serve specific purposes, the convenience and hands-free functionality of smart glasses are expected to make them the preferred choice for routine activities. Zuckerberg sees smart glasses as “the next major platform after phones,” offering seamless integration into daily life without the distraction of traditional screens.
