At IIT-Delhi Mr Zuckerberg answered questions ranging from artificial intelligence to the top-voted, "Why do I get so many requests for (the online game) Candy Crush?"
He explained his keen interest in India, where a billion people are still not online. He said "If you really have a mission of connecting every person in the world you can't do that without connecting people in India."
India is Facebook's second biggest market after the United States, with about 130 million of its 1.5 billion worldwide users, making it critically important for the site, which is banned in China.
Mark Zuckerberg emphasized that Facebook has always supported net neutrality, the principle that companies providing Internet access should not favour some sites or restrict access to others.
"We have always adhered to net neutrality regulations but there are several countries who still do not have norms in place. We will adapt to them as soon as they are in place as we are in favour of being 100 percent net neutral," he said.
Taking on his critics, he added "Most people pushing for net neutrality have access to the internet. But those who aren't on the net cannot sign petitions for increased access to the internet. We have a moral responsibility to look out for people who do not have the internet... and make sure the rules don't get twisted to hurt people who don't have a voice."
These are the 15 highlighted things that Mark Zuckerberg told today at IIT Delhi, India.
1. Connecting people in India is one of the most important
things we can do for the world.
2. When it comes to the elements of an ideal startup,
focus on what you want to do and the impact of what you want to change in the
world.
3. India is the largest democracy. It is one of the
countries where you cannot connect the world without connecting India.
Connecting people in India is one of the most important things we can do for
the world.
4. Products built on a scale as big as Facebook are not
built by one person or conceived in one eureka moment.
5. No matter what you do you’ll make a ton of mistakes and
I made every mistake that you can make. You want to focus on not what are the
mistakes you don’t want to make but to do as much as good as you can.
6. Our mission is giving people the power to share and
making the world more connected but I've spend time thinking what impact we can
have outside Facebook.
7. Every good company that has come up is someone cares. Focus on what you want to do and the impact of
what you want to change.
8. People not on the internet can’t sign online petitions
for increased access to the internet – we need to be careful about that.
9. I told my developers that can we have a solution to
this problem (Candy Crush requests on Facebook) by the time I do my Q and A. So
we are doing it now.
11. We want to build computers systems that are better than
human senses that hear better and see better.
12. In the future we will be able to put on a headset and
travel to anywhere in the world to do just anything.
14. There are 4 billion people in the world ho don’t have
access to the internet. And we want to provide the basic connectivity to those
people.
15. People here think we are trying to restrict the access
to the whole internet. That is far from the truth. Providing free access to the
whole internet is costly, so we're trying to provide free basic.
Inka Kavala.!
