F8: 5 Facebook Announcements That Will Change the Face of Content Creation

Annually, Facebook invites developers and businesses to come together for an event called F8 to display their upcoming projects and innovations. The 2-day event included 18 new announcements and among those 18, we chose five key elements that a content creator would most benefit from.

1. Direct Brain-Computer Interface for Typing

Facebook hopes to have you soon type 100 words per minute without lifting a finger. Facebook will scan your brain to see what you are thinking and translate it into words using the brand new Direct Brain-Computer Interface. It’s still in the early stages, but once it takes off just imagine how useful it would be for ads.

How Will It Benefit Content?

Content creators could use this tool to effectively market certain products to a specific demographic. Facebook already does a good job of knowing what ads and post one likes the most based on their algorithms, so now it will be easier to know what products and services you like the most using your brain scanning as well.
