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.

Summary | Palmer Luckey thinks that virtual reality is going to be ubiquitous in the next decades, which is a good thing according to him. Not everyone can afford to travel to Washington D.C. or Paris, but virtual reality will give people the opportunity to experience things such as long trips overseas. Luckey also thinks that virtual reality will replace smartphones; we won't need them anymore. With virtual reality, we'll be able to experience physical intimacy with people far away, for instance. It will the change our relationships.
