One Connected World

Facebook is slowly taking over the world and CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, has a huge idea of having people all around the world have access to internet. Currently, Facebook has about 1.6 billion monthly active users and Zuckerberg is planning to have 5 billion people to be active on Facebook by 2030, which is more than half of the estimated global population.

“Everyone deserves to be connected,” says Zuckerberg in an interview with CNN. He believes that while Americans use the Internet to share news and be connected with friends, people from other countries can use the internet for other reasons such as health care, deciding what government they want and taking to family on other sides of the globe who they have never seen or talked to in so long or ever. But how is Zuckerberg going to accomplish such a huge project? He communicated with his competitors, such as Samsung, Nokia and many more, which are the biggest companies in social media and mobile data to work together to help bring this project slowly become a reality. In the video, Zuckerberg seems to be confident with his idea but there are an immense amount of countries who do not have enough money and infrastructure such as electricity to have internet. Although this is an important issue, accomplishing such a task requires tremendous amount of effort and time.

Although Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t have an active Twitter, Facebook does and in its tweets, it is able to display all of the updates on Facebook. Such tweets include populations of the number of people that are logged on Facebook. In the video, people from different countries all around the world are present to show that Facebook will only keep on growing which is what Mark Zuckerberg hopes for his company. Having internet all around the world will only make Facebook more lucrative than it already is.
