It seems like Facebook users are in for some great news in the coming 10 years as Mark Zuckerberg announced new innovations for the next decade.

Virtual reality

Over the past few years there has been a huge development of virtual reality technology being developed at festivals around the world and it seems that Zuckerberg is ready to enter that world. At the F8 conference held in San Francisco, the Facebook billionaire noted that in the future Facebook users will be able to share 360-degree videos of their families. Zuckerberg elaborated virtual reality and noted that it would allow communication to be enhanced and that it would allow users to feel more social and feel like they are with the person they are speaking to.

Zuckerberg also added that he believed that Facebook would not have to use the Oculus rift and instead they would use something smaller and more comfortable.

Artificial intelligence

In addition he talked about artificial intelligence and said that the users will be able to see the news in a different way and it will contain fascinating pictures and a new way to see stories.

The technology that Facebook currently has been developed in such a way that that the company built a tool for the blind that can understand images in a picture and read them the contents of the image out loud. The company plans to implement and enhance the technology to incorporate it into the news feed so that it will be able to show users news stories containing images most likely to grab their attention. As Zuckerberg stated, the goal is to "show more interesting content" that users won't even know they want until they see it." Zuckerberg did not elaborate on that part of the technology but he said that it would be something would change the way we see Facebook.

Other highlights

During his presentation Zuckerberg also took time to make political jabs at the current republican front runner. We are one global community," he said. "Whether we are welcoming a refugee fleeing war or an immigrant seeking opportunity, coming together to fight a global disease like Ebola or to address climate change."

Zuckerberg noted that we are a global society and therefore it is important to continue to feel connected and that is what the idea of his new Facebook apps are. He added, "I hope that we have the courage to see that the path forward is to bring people together and not push people apart."
