It had almost become a tradition. For the past decade, Facebook employees and tech journalists closely monitored Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook profile at the start of January for signs of the CEO’s annual personal challenge. Zuckerberg’s goals have ranged from traditional new year’s resolutions like running, learning a new language or eating more vegetables to broader efforts veering on the political that fueled speculation he might one day run for office.

This year, however, Zuckerberg took the long view, revealing a number of tech-related goals for the next decade.

The tech executive said in a post on his personal Facebook profile on Thursday that he would seek to spearhead “new forms of governance”, develop “the next computing platform”, and build “a new private social platform”.
