20 Ways Our Life Would Have Been Different Had Zuckerberg Not Created Facebook 20 Years Ago

Vasudha Sabharwal

Twenty years back, Mark Zuckerberg created a social media site and forever changed the ways of the world. In less than a year of its advent, Facebook added a million users and kickstarted a social media revolution, so to speak. Life has not been the same ever since. Today, life without Zuckerberg’s platforms is — albeit not impossible but — highly unlikely. You see, you’re reading this very post on a platform owned by Meta, co-founded by Zuckerberg.
