Zuckerberg talks about the Internet's three major trends: reality-enhancing technology will rise

January 15 morning in Beijing, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Zuckerberg a speech in Colombia in Wednesday. In addition to announcing the provision of free basic Internet access in Colombia, he answered questions about the future of the Internet.

An audience asked Zuckerberg what Facebook would look like in the next 10 years. Mr Zuckerberg takes the opportunity to describe the future of a wider social network.

Zuckerberg mentioned 3 main trends:

1 more people will use the Internet.

2 We will be more through photos or text messages to people, rather than the traditional network interface.

3 The future of computing technology lies in augmented reality: a simple way of communicating without interference.

Zuckerberg's first two-point trend is not surprising. Cisco estimates that by 2018 the number of Internet users in India will double, with the number reaching 526 million.

The messaging market is growing fast, with Facebook's WhatsApp, for example, sending more messages than text messages. In addition, Snapchat, which provides a "read and burn" message service, is also growing rapidly, with 100 million users allegedly.

In the future of the Internet, the text may become less. For example, Apple Watch helps users get information through tactile vibrations, such as telling a user's heart rate in the form of vibrations.

"The way people share, the time they want to communicate, and the tools they use to stay connected are diverse and growing," Zuckerberg said. "He believes it will be the main competition that Facebook faces in the future."

But the real bold prediction lies in the reality of enhanced technology. "Over the next 10-15 years, you can imagine a new platform that will be able to integrate into your life in a more natural and integrated way than mobile phones." "he said.

Zuckerberg's complete statement reads: "I think it's easy to imagine that we can have some wearable tools in the future that look like ordinary glasses (so it doesn't look like the smart glasses today)." You will be able to know the world around you and communicate with others without having to look down and interfere with your ongoing conversation. ”

Mr Zuckerberg said Oculus, a virtual reality maker, would be an important part of future reality-enhancing technology. That's the main reason Facebook bought the company 2 billion dollars last year.
