The Social Network



I use facebook at least five times a day. Facebook helped Americans make the jump from e-mailing to texting like Asia and Europe. That is what Mark Zuckerberg helped us do. Or at least, that's what it turned into. I used the third version of facebook, after the harvard privacy and and after it dropped the "The", watching that story unfold and learning about what I was too young to understand at the time of it's creation. It also helped me understand how and why people use the internet as a social tool. It just really feels like my generation, people born in the last 20-25 years, really grew up with the new computer wave, and we are revolutionizing and redefining our culture with it. And it all started with facebook. We may be the major war power, but we are still behind Asia technologically and Europe ethically.
but about the movie. Some of the smartest, fastest dialogue I have ever heard. Mark Zuckerburg was an incredible genius, to portray him so dinfinately, writer Ben Mezrich, who wrote the nonfiction book The Accidental Billionaires.
