Mark Zuckerberg predicts a dystopian future where everyone wears identical clothing, envisioning a world of uniformity and conformity.
Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, recently shared his thoughts on a future that could be quite dystopian.
He believes everyone might end up wearing the same type of clothing or tech.
This idea came from a discussion he had with Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, at a recent conference.

Zuckerberg predicts that technology will become more integrated into our daily lives, especially in how we dress.
He thinks that soon, people will wear smart glasses that also serve as a fashion statement. This trend could change the way we view both technology and style.
Rise of smart glasses
During his talk, Zuckerberg mentioned that smart glasses are set to become very popular.
He envisions a variety of glasses products available at different price points.
These glasses will feature advanced technology, making them appealing to many people.
He believes that affordable AI-powered glasses will attract tens of millions of users.
At the conference, he said: “I think what you’re going to end up with is just a whole series of different potential glasses products, different price points with different levels of technology in them.
AI-powered features will enhance user experience significantly.
The Meta CEO discussed how these smart glasses will have interactive AI capabilities.
He explained that users will be able to communicate with AI directly through their glasses.
This could lead to a new level of convenience and functionality, as people will have information at their fingertips—literally.
“So I kind of think, based on what we’re seeing now with the Ray-Ban Metas, I would guess that display-less AI glasses at like the $300 point are going to be a really big product that, like tens of millions of people, or hundreds of millions of people eventually are going to have, and you’re going to have super interactive AI that you’re talking to.”
Mark Zuckerberg introduced smart glasses that combine technology and style.
Meta launched its own version of smart glasses in 2021, created in partnership with Ray-Ban. These glasses included features like photo and video capabilities.
Earlier this year, Meta announced plans to integrate AI into these glasses, enhancing their functionality further. This shows their commitment to leading in this tech field.
Goals for Future Designs
Zuckerberg emphasized the importance of design in the development of smart glasses.
He wants the glasses to look great while incorporating as much technology as possible.
His goal is to create a product that is both stylish and functional, appealing to a wide audience.
Holographic displays and more
Zuckerberg envisions that future smart glasses will have holographic displays.
This technology would allow users to see digital information superimposed on the real world.
The glasses will also include camera sensors, enabling users to take pictures, record videos, and connect with friends online.
The Facebook co-founder went on to say: “The goal there has been, okay, let’s constrain the form factor to just something that looks great and within that, let’s put in as much technology as we can — understanding that we’re not going to get to the kind of ideal of what we want to fit into it technically, but at the end, it’ll be like great looking glasses.”
Competition in the smart glasses market
Many companies are working on similar products. Google has been experimenting with smart glasses since 2013.
Additionally, Snap Inc. has developed Spectacles, which offer augmented reality features.
This competition suggests that smart glasses could become a significant part of our technological landscape.
As technology advances, wearable tech like smart glasses could change our lives.
Zuckerberg’s predictions emphasize the potential for these devices to become essential tools in our everyday routines.
However, the idea of everyone wearing similar tech raises questions about individuality and personal expression.
Social media reactions to predictions
One user said: Both Zuckerberg and Musk are completely detached from reality.
They both strike me as unhappy teenage boys who were mocked constantly in school, who spent way too much time reading or watching science fiction about a dystopian future.
The second user added: Why do they all look like aliens like him Elon damn even Trump looks like he sheds his skin then think orange is the right skin color
The third user wrote: I predict a future where the rest of us, get rid of billionaires
The fourth user commented: Crocs! It was predicted in Idiocracy.
Another user said: Why does he look like an android trying to pass for human?
