The Social Network - Facebook

“The Social Network” is the movie based on the story of the invention of Facebook. Facebook is like a drug - once you get on to it, you’re hooked!’ This one, brilliant idea turned this one boy from a nobody to a billionaire. Mark Zuckerberg, is one of the youngest people to become a billionaire. His idea has become a social necessity. If you’re not on facebook you are stereotyped as a social outcast. People have taken facebook so seriously that even the tiniest thing matters. For instance, in the movie they depict how not changing your relationship status when dating someone can cause the relationship itself to end. People have become extremely self-involved because of facebook and spend hour’s together waiting for “likes” and “comments” on their profiles. Also, they are highly dependent on facebook that it is now a platform to socialize, hence eliminating the traditional way of interacting face to face.
