I think his mention to Education is quite relevant here. Days for traditional Education are numbered.

- javiercr 13y agoIMHO, what matters most is not if the VR actually helps learning, but that a company such Facebook is putting a spotlight on Education. Zuckerberg could have mentioned a hundred different things where VR would be applicable. The press release [1] from Oculus also mentions Education: Mark and his team share our vision for virtual reality’s potential to transform the way we learn, share, play, and communicate [1] http://www.oculusvr.com/blog/oculus-joins-facebook/ http://www.oculusvr.com/blog/oculus-joins-facebook/

That was and still is the slogan of my previous employer. http://alelo.com/ http://alelo.com/ I'd love to see this really take shape, I worked on the virtual education problem for a long time, and it badly needs an investment of money. If facebook invests in virtual education, I will be very pleased.
