Mark Zuckerberg’s legacy
Mark Zuckerberg earlier discussed the legacy he hoped to leave 100 years from now. Mark believes Meta will still be a technology company in 20 to 30 years rather than just an app company.
According to him, Meta is primarily focused on building the underlying technology platform, and he expects this focus to continue for as long as he is involved.
Zuckerberg also mentioned that he wanted Meta to create impressive things.
“I would like people to look back on us and say, ‘Oh, they took a bunch of really big swings. And maybe not everything that they did worked. But a bunch of the stuff that they did really kind of pushed the industry and pushed the world in different directions and that was cool,” he said.
