Topic: Facebook Movie

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1285016/

Summary:

Mark Zuckerberg, the world's youngest self-made businessmen worth over a billion dollars, and one of the founders of Facebook and one of Time magazine's: The World's Most Influential People of 2008. Facebook has become so popular that the story of its founding is going to become a major motion picture directed by David Fincher.

The movie is going to feature actors such as, Jesse Eisenberg playing Mark Zuckerberg and Justin Timberlake playing Sean Parker, another co-founder of Facebook.

Significance:

Earlier I had made a blog post about "Social Networks Taking Over" where I said that I wouldn't be surprised if they made a movie about one. Sure enough, two weeks later I found out that my prediction was correct. As it currently stands, Facebook has over 400 million active users having more than 5 billion pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photo albums, etc.) shared each week. Its safe to say that the social network'd are not going to get any more unpopular.

I find that this "facebook movie" tells us a few things about our society.

1.) It shows how our society is now accepting Facebook as something seroius enough to broadcast.

2.) Study's have shown that people are becoming less physically social and more virtually social.

3.) Our society is becoming engorged in the internet

4.) Finally, it shows the perfect example of the "American Dream". A few young collage kids working on a simple program that went public only to make them billionaires. This isn't the first time it has happened, this story is also related to the founding of Google.

Thank you reading :D
