Wow, that's a huge assumption, that the applications of the future will be delivered though Facebook.
That would be an interesting and depressing future, with companies like facebook dictating the rules of the internet. I certainly hope it doesn't come to that.
I've always thought that news sites like digg would become the eqivalent of the Web OS, the gateway to the internet. I can see Bacebook filling that space easily though, now that I think about it. The difference there is that digg is pointing users to other places on the internet, while facebook in that case actually BECOMES the internet for those people.
It'll certainly be interesting to see how it all pans out in 10 years.
