Technology has played a major role in changing the world in last few years. For example, who would have thought that connecting with someone who is miles away will become so simple and interesting?
Predicting how technologies will affect the future is an extremely difficult task but if someone as wise as the Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg does that then we have to consider it important as he is one of the big reasons for the type of world we live in.
Below are the 5 technologies according to Mark, that will change the world we live in:
1. Internet
It is no surprise that Internet is changing the world very quickly and for making internet accessible for everyone Mark launched internet.org with a mission of connecting everyone by making the use of the web. He even used drones and other new connectivity to systems to make internet available in places where it was almost impossible to do so.
2. Personalised education
Another thing that can make a big difference in how we will live in future is personalized education. In 2016 Mark along with his wife Priscilla invested millions of dollars in Andela for training engineers with latest technologies so that hey can get jobs.
3. Chan Zuckerberg Biohub
Mark not only wants to connect the world but also wants to see healthier humans. He spent $3 billion to fund a group of researchers so that they can work on all the diseases human is facing today.
4. Artificial Intelligence
Zuckerberg is very confident that artificial intelligence will rule the world sooner or later, He spent most of the time of 2016 in learning about how AI works and how it can be used further. He even introduced a virtual assistant of his own. With AI he aims at solving problems such as fake news online, terrorism and describing images to the blind.
5. Virtual Reality
For promoting virtual reality, Facebook bought Oculus for $2 billion. Mark believes that VR will be the key to connecting people in future and it will also have a major role to play in the advertising industry.
