'You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies.'
Okay, for those who don't know what movie is this, "The Social Network" is about the story of Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook. creating the social website which initially named TheFaceBook. The founding of this one of the most popular social website required a lot of intelligence, money, legal cases, and betrayal. However, Mark Zuckerberg lives through all this and he is currently the youngest millionaire. (wish you were him huh? LOL)
The story of this movie isn't bad at all, but the way the movie is presented is too common and few surprises is created. I might felt this way because that I had a very high expectation on this movie. After googled up about the story, and when I watched it, I felt like nothing much I can expect from the movie. Apart from this, the story was okay enough for me to give it a thumb, but not enough for me to stand up and clap for the movie.
However, I did learn something from this movie. Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook out of nothing and this social networking website has really brought a great impact to the world especially the internet users and youngsters. Now let's see why Mark Zuckerberg created this website at the first place. He was actually trying to create a website called 'FaceMash' which similar to the myspace competition ' Hot Or Not'. After he showed his intelligence in 'FaceMash', he came out with a social network named 'TheFaceBook'. Initially this website is only limited to Harvard Students. Its purpose was to let people share their personal and social information on the internet. At the end, this social networking website has spreaded to other universities and finally the whole world.
Nowadays, who doesn't have a facebook account? Even my mom has one. Out of 10 internet users, I believe there's only 1 who doesn't have a facebook account. One of the thing that we usually do is checking out on other facebook profile. It doesn't matter we know that particular users or not. Sometimes, we checked out on a person's profile just to know about their personal information that you wouldn't really go and ask them. Especially that facebook has a profile picture feature, you would definitely know if your old friends try to reconnect with you and with just a few clicks, you can know almost every basic information you need to know about him/her for example, birthday, current location, relationship status and so on. This is really convenient if you want to know anything about someone in your network
I believe this is the purpose why Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook but it also bring a lot of troubles, internet diseases such as stalking. With Facebook, people can simply stalk on other on their profile time to time. This is why that we should never share too much information on this type of social networking website to reduce risking our own safety. When technology gets too develop, problems occur like what Mark Zuckerberg faced when he make a big leap on human social networking. There are pros and also cons so caution must be taken.
To all the facebooker out there, enjoy this movie, and happy facebooking!! xx
