Summary | Facebook has been constantly evolving to adapting to current trends. The first stage was "personal"; people would share their thoughts and status. The second stage was pictures, and now it's "instant articles". Facebook has a great capacity for transformation. Facebook also tried to be a news industry, and also set its sights on services such as bookmarking, 360-degree video, customer service robots, payments and virtual reality. Facebook's stage 4 is live video, and stages 5 and 6 might be artificial intelligence and virtual reality.
