MODERATORS
I trust Forbes to be correct about this about as much as I trust Forbes to be correct about anything.
They're a trash rag that exists solely to fellate capitalist shitbags.
Fuck 'em.
Even if it were accurate, it could entirely be explained by socioeconomic or demographic reasons — e.g. the majority of Gen-Z workers:
Basically, the oligarch capitalist mouthpiece is throwing shit at the walls to see what sticks, because commercial real estate is fuck.
I mean, I'd argue you yourself are guilty of what we're accusing the article of doing here.
It's not that older people don't want to socialize in person with each other anymore, it's more that after graduating high school, you're separated from your high school friends by where you go to college, then after college, you're further separated by where you are able to get a job, meaning "adults" don't really have as many choices about "socializing in person" simply because every friend of theirs has been taken far, far away from them based on economic circumstances.
Source: In my 40's and my friend group has been splintered all over the planet since I was in my mid-twenties. Kind of lead to having to be okay with keeping in touch over the internet.
We can stop attributing such things as a "choice." Adults want just as much in-person socializing time with their friends and family, often they just simply don't have access to it. *shrugs
