Mark Zuckerberg reveals one of his biggest regrets about Facebook

Just like everyone, the founder and CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, has some regrets too regarding his governance of the company.

During Facebook’s first quarter conference call, Zuckerberg revealed one of his ‘great regrets’. He believes that the company did not play adequate role in developing and influencing the mobile technology that has now become the prime means of computing.

“One of my great regrets in how we’ve run the company so far is I feel like we didn’t get to shape the way that mobile platforms developed as much as would have been good,” Zuckerberg said during his call.

Zuckerberg explained that smartphones and other mobile gadgets are designed around the apps rather than people. He acknowledged that if Facebook during the last decade wouldn’t have been so occupied in developing its own self, it would have been able to show everyone a better way, reported Business Insider.

“The way that I think about this is that people should really be at the center of how we design technology. It shouldn’t be designed around apps, it should be designed around our relationships, because that’s what matters to people and that’s not the world we’re on, on mobile.”

As per Zuckerberg, Facebook was not much of a bigger company at the time of emergence of iOS and Android, “iOS and Android came out around 2007, we were a really small company at that point, so that just wasn’t a thing we were working on.” This point of view comes forward as the company is struggling to get past the criticism it has been facing regarding certain ways its product has harmed the society.
