The Social Network

Watching the social network was gave a little insight to the beginnings of facebook and how Zuckerberg was able to develop his idea.  They portrayed him to be an intelligent, cocky person that had a fearless attitude.  The movie shows how Zuckerberg and his room mates started from nothing and developed a website first for the people of his school, and soon to the people of the world.  After reading the book, "The Facebook Effect,"  by David Kirkpatrick I was able to see that there was a little cinematic drama added to make the movie slightly more interesting.  Nevertheless the movie was a good eye opener to the beginnings of facebook and its future impact on the internet and society.  The amount of interest that developed at such an early stage of the company shows how groundbreaking Zuckerberg's ideas were.  Although The Social Network altered the appearance and personality of Zuckerberg it was still interesting to watch and learn about the development of facebook.
