Zuckerberg's Image Sparked Awkward Feelings Among The Web Community

Comments reveal the awkward side of the image. "is this picture an allegory of our future ? the people in a virtual reality with our leaders walking by us", asked Nicolas on Twitter.

"I dont want to live in a world like this. ... I dont want to sit in a gray suit, and be told whats cool, under an air conditioned led illuminated hall of electronic devices tracking my every move, be human is to be free."
Much later, people on the network that Zuckerberg invented will start passing this photo around. It looks like “1984,” they say, or that 1984 Apple ad; it reminds them of “The Matrix,” in which humans grow in amniotic pods and experience the “world” via a plug in their heads.
It remains to be seen whether VR will ever go mainstream, even with Facebook pushing it, but if you've wondered how a tech company like Facebook could pave the way to a Matrix-like future, you now have a visual that epitomizes that dream/nightmare.
