Facebook, the largest social network, is preparing major changes in the next period, its president, Mark Zuckerberg, revealing some of his plans. According to him, in the coming years the world will stop communicating using simple text messages, but instead will focus on creating more video content, which will be shared on social networks.
In this idea, although now Facebook emphasizes the sharing of texts, in the future the emphasis will be placed on the sharing of pictures, but mainly of video content. Facebook started last year to shove videos down our throats by starting them automatically in the News Feed, and in 2017 it will do the same thing, but with more conviction than before.
Zuckerberg's conviction that the world wants to communicate more through video will bring new functions for recording this type of content directly from mobile terminals. Facebook will intensively promote the video function in the application and so people will get used to making more videos to share with friends in their everyday life.
It doesn't really matter that sharing these videos will require more mobile internet traffic, or that viewing them will consume just as much traffic. Facebook is only interested in making even more money from regular users, so in the coming years we will see even more video content in the company's mobile application.
"In most social apps today, a text box is still the default way we share. Soon, we believe a camera will be the main way that we share. It will be easier for people to express themselves in richer ways."
