Chairman of the Board and CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg today revealed his vision for society in 2030.
Until now, at the beginning of the year, the businessman published his personal goals for the new year.
Among other things, he pledged to learn Mandarin Chinese, learn to hunt and cook his own food, and visit all American states – something that had fueled speculation that he might run in the presidential election.
“In this decade, I will focus on long-term issues. Instead of challenging myself over the course of a year, I tried to think about how I hope the world and my life will be in 2030 to make sure I pay all my attention to it, “Zuckerberg wrote on Facebook.
Augmented and virtual reality will dominate
According to the founder of Facebook, from the middle of the 2020s onwards, augmented reality will have been imposed, which will be a revolution in exchanges, in which social networking will greatly contribute.
For Mark Zuckerberg, by the end of the decade, people will have abandoned cell phones by replacing them with augmented reality glasses and will have wide access to virtual reality.
“We will have the technology to fully feel the presence of another person, no matter where it is located, and scientific research will have helped to cure and prevent disease so that the average life expectancy is extended by 2.5 years,” he said. states.
Facebook: Users and Profits are Constantly Rising
“Imagine being able to live in the place of your choice and work easily in another place. If we can achieve what we are working for, this opportunity will be much closer to reality by 2030, “he wrote.
The rise of virtual and augmented reality will help a fairer distribution of opportunities around the globe.
At the same time, housing and rental costs are likely to fall, as people will not feel the need to move to other cities or countries to compete in the job market.
New page on social media
The rise of virtual reality is going to change the nature of social networking.
If the Internet allows billions of people to connect when and where they want, the social network of the future will, he said, be about “private interactions and helping us build the small communities we all need in life.”
Even the founder of Facebook acknowledges that social media has escaped and is occupying a very large part of our lives.
Zuckerberg wants to go back to the roots of small societies so that users don’t feel like their uniqueness and individuality is lost in the crowd.
He believes that people will want to socialize on social media only with people who are directly related to them, ie friends, relatives, colleagues, and neighbors.
The new “private” social networking platform that is being prepared on Facebook’s sanctuaries is also aimed at this type of small community.
How social media will be “governed”
With the dominance of social media over the past decade, I have come up with – reasonably – questions about their proper management.
This is an issue that Facebook has often come under fire for, whether it is “gaps” in its security, or the ambiguity of its rules, or the personal data in its possession.
Mark Zuckerberg admits that private companies cannot and should not make such important decisions regarding basic democratic values.
With that in mind, Facebook CEOs are urging governments to get their hands dirty and pass clear laws on issues such as elections, privacy, “forbidden” content, and the movement of data on the Internet.
It also proposes the establishment of independent communities, which will control the large social networking platforms.
Opening up to small businesses
Speaking of the economy, Zuckerberg said the sector with the greatest growth was technology.
In turn, technology could create opportunities in other sectors of the economy over the next decade.
Giving access to all that technology has to offer small businesses, Mark Zuckerberg believes that in this way they will be able to compete on equal terms with large beasts while creating new jobs.
The operation of Millenials
In 2030, a generational change will take place. Millenials will now take over positions of power, and Generation Z will begin to grow slowly.
Zuckerberg believes that in this way the younger generations will be able to advance their agenda and the issues that concern them, such as climate change, the cost of education, housing, and health services.
