Here's what a Facebook world will look like in 2026

At last week's F8 developer conference, Mark Zuckerberg showed off the company's ten-year roadmap. Zuckerberg's intention here was to show Facebook's three-stage gameplan in action: First, you take a neat cutting-edge technology. Then, you build a product based on it. Then, you turn it into an ecosystem where developers and outside companies can use that technology to build their own businesses. Maybe I'm weird, though, because I looked at this slide and said "okay...then what happens?" Facebook is too busy with the short term to provide handy answers.
