Taking a Look at the Facebook Effect

Mark Zuckerberg, is one of the five co-founders of Facebook. Through Zuckerberg’s hard work and determination resulted in his great success. Though his name is not as well known compared to Facebook, he an important person in today’s society. Not only did he graduate from Harvard with a degree in computer science and psychology, he developed his own company at the age of nineteen. All of these accomplishments are results of his hard work. In just six years, Facebook has over 500 million users worldwide. There are nearly a hundred different languages available on Facebook. With Facebook’s success and popularity, it has resulted in being one of the fastest growing companies in history. Even though Zuckerberg is listed as number sixteen on the Forbes 2015 list, he never let the fame affect him. He is a great leader that created a successful company. With his accomplishments Zuckerberg, continued to stay humble and friendly, never let the money and fame affect his ability to be a great leader and businessman.

Facebook was created in 2004 on the Harvard University Campus by one of its own students: Mark Zuckerberg. First restricted to students of Harvard’s University, it is then opened to other American universities before becoming accessible to all by September 2006. Since June 2015, 1.49 billion of people are registered on this website. This social network is now part of everyday life for nearly one fifth of the world population, it has redefined how we connect and communicate in the 21st century. It is therefore normal that a movie was devoted to its creation and expansion. David Fincher, based on the book by Ben Mezrich, “The Accidental Billionaires”, directed the movie.

The Social Network reveals an ironic story of a computer genius who creates a global social networking website that now benefits over 5 million users, while he is alone in the end because of his cynical, unsympathetic and egocentric personality and behavior. The Social Network is a compelling movie and the movie-makers had done a magnificent job using sophisticated cinematography, editing, sound and lighting techniques to attract their audience’s attention and affection throughout the whole movie. In addition, they clearly appealed to pathos, ethos and logos to persuade their audience to perceive Mark Zuckerberg’s negative personality traits. The film is directed by David Fincher, and the screenplay is written by Aaron Sorkin and adapted from “The Accidental Billionaires” written by Ben Mezrich. The story portrays the creation of “Facebook” by the founder, Mark Zuckerberg, in his early twenties, and begins when he was the sophomore at Harvard University.

The first stage at Harvard University was the initial stage of Facebook. Mark cooperated with his friend Eduardo to build Facebook. The first challenge they meet was programming and financial support. Fortunately, Mark was a genius who finished all the basic programs by his own and Eduardo was from rich family who was able to give the financial support for Facebook. Before the Facebook released, they actually communicated not much, but they came up with many new ideas about how to perfect the content of Facebook in discussion. Eduardo kept agreeing with Mark and they ushered in the high point of communication when Facebook released. They didn’t have any conflict with each other until this time and pulled together to popularize Facebook because the success of Facebook made both of them excited. However, conflicts started to happen in here. Winklevoss twins thought the Mark stole their idea of Harvard Connections. Since Facebook was more and more popular, they tried different ways to prevent the development of it. But Mark and Eduardo paid no attention to their prevention because they thought their behavior was useless, so Winklevoss twins chose to sue Mark finally. Then they met Sean Parker, the creator of Napstir. Although Eduardo felt that Sean was not a believable partner because both of his behavior of boasting and bad reputation of character, Mark ignored his opinion and let Sean join Facebook. The second stage in California is their expansion phase.

One of the new phenomena of our generation is Facebook, and with four hundred million users, it ranks first in the 2017 “most famous social media site” chart. Personally, I believe a convenient social media should benefit the people on multiple aspects and Facebook successfully fulfills every category to make a social media pleasing. It all initiated in February of 2004, when Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook with the ultimate purpose to create a better communicative and connected world. Not only does Facebook allow its users to create and upload their own profiles with photos, videos, and other information about themselves, but also friends have access to profiles of other friends, allowed to comment on their updated status or write on their profile wall. Facebook successfully meets the criteria of privacy, communication, and keeps the reader informed of current events.

Unbeknownst to them at the time, on a Sunday night in late 2003, a select 450 Harvard University students played an unknowing but seemingly vital part in creating one of the most influential men in the world: Mark Zuckerberg. For Zuckerberg, it was the day which caused him to be called before Harvard's Administrative Board for a disciplinary hearing (Kaplan, 2003); it was also the day which helped catapult his onward trajectory towards creating Facebook, an online social network of over 500 million users valued today at approximately $82.9 billion dollars (Levy, 2011).

How many hours do you spend every day on the internet? Do you go to social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram? If not, “Welcome to the 20th century”. Well, Facebook is currently the most popular social networking website created by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004 to make it easier for people to connect with your family, friends and love ones through the internet. After its creation, Facebook has really paved its

Based on the novel known as “The Accidental Billionaire,” The Social Network is a film that explains about the creation and the evolution of Facebook, which is one of the most popular social media in the 21st century. In 2003, Mark Zuckerberg, a young student of Harvard University, encountered a sudden heartbreak from his girlfriend during the dinner. Instead of feeling flat, Mark felt angry and confused; therefore, he decided to fight back. On that night, a crazy idea came up to his mind, where he hacked the Harvard University system and stole all the girls, information including their photos. A few hours later after taking the ladies’ information with his friend Eduardo Saverin, the two established a social site known as FaceMash. They encouraged the other students to compare the girls’ faces on this new site. Eventually, the platform paralyzed the school’s system and made Mark famous overnight. However, Mark received his first-time punishment from the university for his action.

As discussed before, Facebook holds a strong position in the market. With 51% active users in 2013, the company also reached roughly double the amount of virtual operators compared to its competitors. As a comparison, Google+ with 25%, Youtube with 21% and Twitter with 21% are relatively far from the market leader’s 51% (Marketline, 2013, pp. 4-5). These numbers make clear the extraordinary scope as well as the influence Facebook enjoys on the social web. Having such a dominant global position, the network offers businesses the chance to connect with customers all over the globe. Primarily used on an American campus back in 2004, the platform is currently available in almost any nation and has been translated into 70 languages (Marketline, 2013, p. 4).

Participants were 35 undergraduate students (5 men and 31 women) at Marietta College. Participants were recruited from the psychology department human subjects pool. Participants received credit towards a research participation requirement. All participants were required to have an active Facebook page.

Mark Zuckerberg had a vision to create change. He has always said that was his goal. What he created is one of the most groundbreaking forms of social networking in history. Facebook began in 2004 and eventually made Mark Zuckerberg a billionaire. What began as an idea with his friends from Harvard University, is now one of the most famous companies in the world. He wanted to change the way people communicate, so he and his friends designed an original internet platform called “Facemash” in 2003 which was just available to Harvard students. This served their purpose for a while and for two years’ students were able to communicate and share ideas within their school community. Soon it expanded to include other colleges in the Northeast and California. Zuckerberg had strong leadership skills and being a Harvard educated student prepared him to be successful in business. He was well known on campus and was quite an influential student leader. He decided that just serving university students wasn 't

The popular social network founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard University. It is a web-based social utility that was designed to facilitate efficient communication between family, friends and co-workers (Witek, 2012).

With the introduction of social media, nearly all aspects of human life were affected, ranging from people personal lives to professional lives. To be more specific, now days it appears to be a bit abnormal for an individual or an organization to operate with at least one active Facebook account. ”The Facebook” allows organizations and individuals to post news about events, personal life experiences, products, or any other piece of information that might appear pertinent to the followers of that account. From its simple starting point as a way of one-to-one communication among the Harvard college students, Facebook has grown to its current position with more than 900 million active monthly users (Richards). For organizations, Facebook plays a huge role with connecting firms with their clients and other stakeholders, while individual users connect with friends through the Facebook handle. In essence, Facebook has many benefits to the individual as well as corporate users, but there are some drawbacks associated with its use in the contemporary society.
