The lack of foresight in regards to Facebook from persons here shows how stagnant we have become as an industry.
When Facebook releases the e-commerce aspect of its plan, a $50 Billion valuation will be a drop in the bucket compared to what it will be valued at then.
After that, when Zuckerberg opens up to the global sports betting and gambling industry, due to the site's natural ability to segment the user base by age, he will make even more money.
Even if those two minor aspects for some reason do not perform as well as planned, all he needs to do is get a fraction of the social networking traffic from QQ in China or Orkut in India and he will multiply the company's worth several times over at the very least.
Add VR aspects and even more complex media delivery mechanisms to Facebook and forget about it, Facebook will be around for our grandchildren's children.
