How could technological developments transform Facebook by 2015?

Buckminster Fuller was far ahead of us all, and identified TIME/ENERGY as the center of gravity for future progress. Google has already reached the limits of its ability to create data centers, and the raw metals combined with the energy costs of cloud cooling are unsustainble in the present configuration. if Facebook wants to be the future, it needs to think seriously about where and how it can obtain infinite free energy and dominate the cloud aggregation while providing free access to the Internet for the five billion poor. Google is evil--Google is nothing more than a digital era Standard Oil with a bit of Enron (fantasy cash) thrown in. The next big step is not as clear to me, but I think it will have a lot to do with merging BOTH human intelligence, which is vastly more agile, portable, and energy independent than machine intelligence, and massive distributed processing combined with IP addresses for everything and everyplace, and Doug Englebart's Open Hypertextdocument System to the paragraph or word levels. In short, before you can think about the next big step in technology, you need to first think about the next big step in energy, and once you have that solved, you cannot think in terms of technology advances but rather in terms of human collective intelligence coming together with cognitive science aided by bridge technologies--what we call the World Brain and Global Game.
