Young adults in Europe are putting away smartphones
-
For example, I am using again a traditional wristwatch, instead of looking at the phone. The reason is that I do not like to constantly look at my phone when I just need to know the time.
but then you lose precious screentime where you could see your notifications and ads, use a smartwatch!!! -- tech moguls.
I use a traditional wristwatch as well and a walkman (cassette or my digital walkman), my smartphone is really just only for communications.
Other things I use are a chip card for local train tickets (it never runs out of battery) and a PC with a solid real two-factor authentication based on chipcard and an optical TAN generator for banking.
And when I am exploring new areas on the bike, I sometimes just use the old paper maps - they don't run out of battery either, and they give s much better overview than a tiny phone screen.

What makes you think they'd change prices on a whim? More likely they'll change the prices based on whatever they learn from the browser fingerprint of whoever at your table is first to scan the code. Better get the intern to go first, just in case.
Greed is unlimited.

"One startup from the Netherlands is trying to accommodate them by organizing offline meetups."
OF COURSE THEY HAVE TO FUCKING CAPITALIZE "NOT USING YOUR PHONE" AND MEETING REAL PEOPLE
FUCK THIS EXISTANCE
So like meetup.com? At least there it's true younger people don't show up on any of the events

"meeting real people" has been subject to capitalism since the first enterprising individual opened a pub … a couple thousand years ago.

That's not capitalism

Big if true
The article is lacking some hard numbers.
It cites Bitcom on constant high screen time
But Bitcom is an industrial lobby group. They are for example anti-privacy and anti-data protection. I wouldn't expect them to publish anything which is not in the interest of Big Tech. -
Because they can? Capitalism, and so on.

Can you explain to me what you think capitalism is?

The kids are going to be alright. They grew up with phones and learned in schools that there are times when it's inappropriate to use it.
I'm much more worried about the older people who have absolutely no etiquette for phone usage.
When my teenager has friends over they literally stack their phones and do whatever they met up to do.
When the grandparents come over they sit and fiddle candy crush and Facebook like their life depended on it.

Meetup was bought by Bending Spoons, one of the worst predatory companies around. It's dying.

They can also easily change their pricing when there's a higher demand or any other whim.
Let's be honest: The amount of work to print out one or two pages and put it into one of those menu thingies is near zero. They are also quite cheap, you can keep around multiple printed menus without breaking the bank. This is not preventing restaurants from changing their prices

I didn't know, but it's not dying. It's a lot more active than some years ago
