I wish I was as smart as the guy who invented Facebook

I have watched the Social Network four times. The entire thing. From start to finish. Did it get boring after a while? Absolutely not! Every time I watch it I understand it more and more, and continue to be amazed by the fact that Facebook stemmed from such a small idea of “taking the whole social experience of college and putting it online.” Actually, I am even more amazed how he was driven to invent something just to get the attention of the Final Clubs of Harvard. I am not even sure if this is true but it’s not a stretch to think it is.
Facebook freakishly adictive, you gotta admit and sometimes I wonder if Zuckerberg embedded some type of code that messed with our brains to use it 24/7. But I guess he’s right; we are innerly – some part of us – obsessed to find out what our friends are up to, show of our pictures, meet new people, etc. etc. Facebook allows us to “stalk” our friends. I’ve done it and so have you! Everyone has and you just can’t help it. Zuckerber is right in saying that we constantly want to know what our friends are up to.
Who knew that Facebook would become worth millions or even billion of dollars in the next 3 years. Who knew Zuckerberg would become the youngest billionaire in the world. Do I want to be a billionaire? Hell ya! But if only I had an idea…just one simple idea that could potentially be worth that much money….
Maybe one day! 🙂
