Vision 2030: The Future of Social Connection
Augmented reality, AI-generated nostalgia, and the return of privacy. Here is where we think the internet is going next.
Technology moves fast. As we look toward 2030, we see a shift away from public broadcasting and towards intimate, high-fidelity connection.
The Rise of Small Groups
The era of having 5,000 "friends" is ending. The future is about small, tight-knit communities—your "Tribe." We predict a rise in platforms that facilitate deep connection among groups of 10-50 people, rather than broadcasting to millions.
At Yearbook, we are preparing for this future by building features that support AR (Augmented Reality) memories and AI-assisted organization, ensuring that as technology advances, your past remains compatible with your future.
The device in your pocket will change. The desire to belong never will.
