‘A stream of everything that’s going on in their lives,’ as Zuckerberg put it” (p.544).

In her blog “ The Fakebook Generation,” later to be published in the New York Times on October 6, 2007, Alice Mathias enters the topic of the most used social networking service worldwide, Facebook. Mathias debates on Facebook’s claim of being a forum for “genuine personal and professional connections” (438) and tries to influence her readers to ask themselves if the website really promotes human relationships. Alice Mathias, a 2007 graduate of Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire has wrote several more columns before, in which one of them was even awarded the Waterhouse Research Award.

The world we live in is a very competitive one. To be successful, in this world one needs to have the connections so that one can succeed in life. In “The Limits of Friendship” by Maria Konnikova and “We are a Camera” by Nick Paumgarten, we see that technology can help build these connections. It is through these connections that One way these connections help make people successful is through our close interpersonal connections, modern day technology, and social media. These three outlets are modems of opportunity because they allow people to connect in ways never thought possible. By using technology and utilizing your close support group, people can become successful on their way and in the professional world.

Unlike in Macbeth, the tragic hero does not end up dying, and so still has time to fix his mistakes, but the feeling of pity is still evoked. As The Social Network comes to an end, Mark Zuckerberg can be seen sending a friend request to Erica Albright and constantly refreshing the page with a look of utmost desperation etched into his face. It is the first time that Mark truly realizes how self-involved he has been and that he has lost more than just a couple of lawsuits -- he lost the one true friend he ever had. The audience pities Mark, for all he wanted was to be recognized and make a name for himself, but now that he has everything he wanted, he is left all alone and

Many studies point out that the idyllic American childhood is a thing of the past. The kind of carefree childhood in which kids mostly spend their free hours playing basketball in the street, fishing down at the creek, and spending hours lying in the field, sucking on a ragweed stem and thinking about adventures is long lost. Childhood used to involve lots of dreams and skinned knees, not nervous breakdowns. But since then something has changed in America.

A baby who fell to earth in a capsule with the ability to fly is brought up as a human and becomes a famous magician, but a jealous rival threatens to reveal his secret.

The social network is a product of our time and a timely comment on how we live now.

After watching the movie The Social Network, the first thing I did was to search for Mark Zuckerberg’s real life experiences to see which parts are facts and which are fictions. As a matter of fact, this Harvard genius that founded the world’s first social network was not as childish as the movie portrayed. At least he didn’t write programming for getting into elite Harvard “Final Clubs” or for retaliating his girlfriend. During Mark’s high school, Microsoft and AOL tried to purchase the music player that he built and also invited him to join them. However, Mark decided to enroll in Harvard for further education. From where I stand, although the movie is fictional, it can easily

Facebook, a social networking website, has changed the way people communicate with each other. A social networking website is an online platform that allows users to create a public profile and interact with other users on the website. Facebook has even changed our most personal and private conversations and how they are conducted around the world. Since the internet’s birth in 1983, this trend of online communication has been growing. Created in 2004, now registered with more than one billion participants, Facebook’s user numbers surpass even the top four social networking websites combined. According to Wikipedia statistics, Instagram has 300 million registered users, LinkedIn has 200 million users, Classmates.com has 50 million users, and Flickr has 32 million registered users. To be further convinced of the claim that Facebook indeed changes the way we communicate, you would only need to create your own Facebook account and start participating in their social networking experience. Technology and internet usage is fused into every aspect of our society including the style of communication. The launch of Facebook in 2006 also enabled other devices such as touch phones, interactive tablets, and even advanced cars with their own networking capabilities starting in 2007. Facebook is a multibillion-dollar company and is highly recognized for connecting more people than other networks. Facebook’s long-term success can be attributed to providing entertainment, world news, and
