The Facebook CEO and cofounder said Tuesday that his New
Year's resolution is to visit and meet
"I've spent significant time in
many states already, so I'll need to travel to about 30 states this year to
complete this challenge," Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post.
Zuckerberg is famous for his ambitious
some might say eccentric New Year's challenges, including learning Mandarin,
meeting a new person every day and only eating meat that he kills himself.
In 2016, he tackled two challenges:
running 365 miles in a year and designing a personal AI assistant to help automate tasks in
his home.
This year's challenge was informed
by what Zuckerberg describes as a "turning point in history" caused
by the combination of "technology and globalization."
While Zuckerberg does not refer to
the 2016 election explicitly, he alludes to a "greater sense of
division" in the country and a need to make sure "the game... works
for everyone."
"After a tumultuous last year,
my hope for this challenge is to get out and talk to more people about how
they're living, working and thinking about the future," Zuckerberg says. Now he is following suit -- while keeping his day job, of course.
"Recently, I've traveled around
the world and visited many cities," Zuckerberg wrote in his post.
"Now I'm excited to explore more of our country and meet more people
here."
