Wearing a sweatshirt and jeans, Zuckerberg held a press conference outside of Lamont Library surrounded by students and the public, the AP reported. He spoke about the future of Facebook and his plans for expanding the company and recruiting new talent.
“The next five or 10 years are going to be about all the different products and industries that can be rethought,” Zuckerberg told the audience, according to the AP.
