Facebook pledged, India responds. Chatbots the new tech business as India are making first waves
We have for many years in a way been stuck with facebook as the first social media mover, cleverly capturing the whole world within months and doing it without even a marketing penny used to achieve it.
I haven't appreciated it until a couple of years ago and still I'm spending less then a healthy hour every 3 months on FB anyway, but I know for some people it's an heroin-like addiction by now, almost as customarily as checking e-mail, and worse for some. We got indoctrinated and not for sound reasons I think. Not to mention the rapist T&A they pushed us into!
Zuckerbergs success is well deserved and we all made him a billionaire, that is nice though, but now Facebook is a large tech company trading on Nasdaq and frankly, it's about time we move on.
Sharing such huge wealth makes more sense now. Steemit is long due, and actually kind of late in that regard.
FB can not betray it's shareholders by messing around with their profit earnings at this point, so it will surely die off in the end. Facebook did make us become a generation of happy social robots though!
FB knows what's ahead and he had to compliment his idea somehow, probably also prepare for the future by cutting costs. He did so by pledging to the chatbots developers in India and they certainly delivered!
By the looks of it we'll have a new exciting equity tech bubble ahead, as India delivered a reply to the pledge by developing many thousands new chatbot programs in a matter of days. As if it wasn't enough for him to turn us into heartless rocks, he's now gonna let us chat with robots.
Maybe he'll allow robot avatars as hybrid members in the end . Welcome to robot society gone cold!
Don't worry, FB will loose it's edge and Steemit and similar movers along with Uber and Airbnb will lead us to a new meaningful edgy hype.
In other words, we're gonna become heartless stone cold self-serving robotic capitalists instead. I guess, we can use some of the chatbots
Cheers!
