The Social Network is a drama film about the founding of the omnipresent networking tool of Facebook.
“You don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies.” The film revolves around the founding of Facebook and the enemies made by Mark Zuckerberg, the genius behind the computer screen, throughout his adventures of creating the social network.
While the film presents to us the limitless power of social media, it also draws our attention to the potential flaws in the system. When information travels through the numerous pathways of social media, privacy no longer exists to the players of the network. Once a spark is lit, the fire will spread. The catch to social media is that the fire spreads in every way possible, making it more difficult to be contained.
Businesses are now taking advantage of social media, such as Facebook, as a platform to reach every nook and corner. The consequences faced by Mark in the film offer insight into the risks of businesses by becoming an active participant in the social channel. The Social Network provides the audience an alternative perspective to social media and its active role in our day to day lives.
