Mark Zuckerberg is 33; his classmates are not having grandchildren yet. Facebook did not have to do anything to 'expand to grandparents'; grandparents could create accounts on Facebook as soon as anyone with a general e-mail address could.

His classmates' children are somebody's grandchildren. That's why the platform expanded...emailing photos to grandparents was a pain point that the expansion of the user base solved. It was the killer app that got old people onto the platform.
