among people. He said “The
reality is you start building
something you care about
and keep working on it. I built
it for my college community.
I remember talking to my
friends then, how awesome it
would be if we could connect
the world. I had no idea then,
that the service would turn
out to be so big. We just kept
doing the next things.”
Zuckerberg says,
“Facebook’s mission is giving
the people the power to
share. For all the people who
don’t have access to schools,
to have access to information
online is important.”
He also shares his personal
life decision. He gave
information and said that “We
are expecting a daughter
soon. I want my family to
actually be there and see
her taking her first steps. In
maybe 5-10 years we may
be able to develop and share
these real-life like 3D images,
which would be amazing”
Mark Zuckerberg, also visited
the Taj Mahal and found it to
be more spectacular than he
had expected.
He said that we are working
on internet.org to boost the
availability of the internet
and its affordability. He said,
“There are 4 billion people
in the world who don’t have
access. Some of them don’t
have access to the Internet,
the second is affordability,
third is awareness. We’re
working on all of these and
we’re investing in new ways
to provide availability like
solar planes and satellites
that beam down the Internet.”
“Now, Facebook app uses
1/10th of the internet data
than earlier”, he added.
The first internet.org summit
was also held in India on 9
October 2014 in New Delhi.
In this, Facebook plans to
bring Internet to the thirdworld
via drones, satellites,
lasers, and more. Facebook’s
Connectivity Lab, will work
on the Internet.org project.
It’s powered by the talent
acquired from solar-powered
drone maker Ascenta as
well as poached from NASA.
The main objective of this
summit was to bring together
experts, officials and industry
leaders focus on ways to
bring more Internet services
for people in languages other
than English. So after that
we can now use Facebook
in different languages.
Zuckerberg also met Indian
Prime Minister Narendra
Modi and talked about the
collaboration on Internet.edu.
Zuckerberg posted the
above image along with
wife Priscilla, reminiscing a
wedding celebration in Goa.
“I missed being in India for
Diwali this year, but here’s a
picture of Priscilla, and me
at our good friends’ wedding
in Goa a few years ago,” he
wrote in the post. The post
has been ‘liked’ by over
2.91 lakh Facebook users
and shared more than 6,800
times.
