Youngest Billionaire

I just watched this movie called "the social network". The movie was about Mark Zuckerburg, a sophomore college student of Harvard University, who created Facebook, originally called "thefacebook" with his colleagues and what it was years before, it was called Facebook. Originally, Facebook had a predecessor called Facemash.

Facemash was an exclusive social networking site only on Harvard that would let you pick between two girls that you think is better. The site gained 22,000 visits in just 2 hours after it was launched, which caught the attention of 3 Harvard students. These students would be the reason how Mark Zuckerburg (founder of Facebook) got the idea of making what we now know would be FACEBOOK making him the youngest billionaire in the world


The movie it self was very interesting. It gave off more information that i thought it would give. I guess some people would also agree with me on that one. Becoming a billionaire just like that *snap*. Thinking of it that way, i guess anybody could become a billionaire. I, a programmer myself, made me think of making my own social networking site. Sadly, the problem is I don't have the patience (and beer) to make one. I'd be in my house whole day just starting at Facebook looking for interesting things (I know, i have a boring life. Deal with it!). I don't know, maybe someday i could make a website that would make me a billionaire like Mark (how i wish!). But people can dream right? Oh well, we'll never know. There is still a lot ahead of me.
