IM is not a business for them but another data source for FB. The costs for running WhatsApp must be astronomical yet it is a free service.

VR may become the entertainment platform but maybe it doesn’t. AR has a much wider application and is actually needed. It will allow our connected computers to see and hear what we perceive allowing for a much more direct input. I can’t wait for true personal assistants accompanying one throughout life.

FB just came up with another way to sell ads.
