This is a film that follows the life of Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook.
According to interviews held with Mark Zuckerberg later, it turned out that it's not so accurate at all. According to him, he didn't think of Facebook because a girl dumped him (though he does admit that it happened a lot!).
The way he treated his best friend is a little sad. I don't know if it's true or not but it wasn't very nice at all. I felt bad for his friend (if it's true). One point though that came out -
ALWAYS READ THE CONTRACT!! Even if it is your best friend's lawyer giving it to you!!
It's tough being in a new place, meeting new people. University can be a drag if you don't have a group to hang out with. I had my sister for 2/3 years of college, and we had a great time.
Why is facebook so successful? Well, I read an interesting piece on how it helps people snoop. It may be an intrinsic human emotion - so I cannot deny that! And why is it snooping if you want to find out what your friends have posted and what they are doing? Geez!!
One lesson I've recently learnt though is that you can only rely on your immediate family - and if there is money or property involved - they too become estranged. What I don't understand is that we are all so wise now (at least I've become and I'm 30 now). In the end, we're all going to be fodder for the natural elements. Shouldn't we do something better with our lives?
Carpe Diem.
