Social Network

I watched a movie-Social Network. The portrait painted of Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Facebook, is often scathing but also, at times, sympathetic. Despite Zuckerberg's misgivings, it is likely to do little harm to him or Facebook with its 500 million users and an estimated value of $23 billion. Indeed, it could make Zuckerberg something of a hero in a tech world where being brusque, dismissive and self-absorbed are not necessarily bad things.  At the heart of the film is the conflict, which resulted in multiple lawsuits over the years, over who really had the idea for Facebook and how much others contributed to its success, only to be frozen out by Zuckerberg. It brings to the big screen an array of characters even most Facebookers have probably never heard of: Eduardo Saverin, who provided the early seed money and later sued Zuckerberg, settling for millions; twin brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, two wealthy and quintessentially preppy Harvard University students who claimed Facebook was their idea which Zuckerberg stole (they got a $65 million settlement); and Sean Parker, the flamboyant founder of Napster. But for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal complications.  

People today seem to be losing their human qualities.  So social network is a way to protect modern people from being isolated and feeling lonely.  In reality this is the core business of sites like facebook.  It is the most popular social network on the Internet today with Twitter.  Politicians are sending messages out via Facebook.
