Rewind back to October 2012 - Facebook announced that it officially had celebrated reaching the 1 billion users mark. Just the week, they celebrated pulling in that same amount of users in a single day.
Since it's inception back in 2004, Facebook has become a staple in the lives of most of the population, and it's only going to grow. Surely there will come a point where it may stop growing - but with the ever-growing population and the growing number of users on the Internet, 1 billion users in a day may soon be knocked off it's perch.
The site aims to continue to grow, however it may begin to focus in on spreading it's message of global communication in areas where the social network doesn't have as many users. Europe and the USA have the peak amount of users and this isn't expected to change anytime soon, however Latin America, Asia and Africa are still way off the mark in comparison to the further Western world.
However, Facebook can never look backwards - with users increasing everyday, Facebook can only become bigger and more successful than it is already. If it can increase it's users in poorer areas for individuals who have no access to the internet, this may bring about a huge shift in the way the whole world connects - with a stronger availability of being able to help poorer parts of the world through the use of sharing information to help us to stay informed on the situations which are happening across the world, every day, every hour, every minute.
