We are improving the technology to incorporate the entire body and working with the government to get everybody in America an “Oculus Ripped” unit. This way we will be able to connect everybody, all the time and turn the whole into a bunch of tech-dependent zombies. We are imagining a world in which people don’t go to work and spend their days surfing the Internet for hours on end. We at Facebook don’t want to capture a new market, we believe that with this technology that we can usher in a new evolution of the human race.

The position will change to CEO of the United States of Facebook. Obama also released a statement on this matter. “I have nothing to say, I’ve been a horrible president and I believe that Zuckerberg will be able to capitalize on the workforce to turn this truly great country into a truly great corporation. “
