Young Adults in Europe Are Putting Away Smartphones

Young adults in Europe are putting away smartphones

A British survey found that almost half of young adults would prefer to live in a time without the Internet. One startup from the Netherlands is trying to accommodate such people by organizing offline meetups.

The end of the era of cell phones is closer than many imagine. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, the company that owns the WhatsApp messenger and networks such as Instagram and Facebook, said in a company event last month that smartphones can be replaced by augmented reality glasses, which will play a fundamental role in a new era of digital transformation.
