aThe Rise of facebook
While reading how facebook caught on and became more popular, it is apparent to the reader how the perspective of the author is bias. The author complements Zukerburg numerous times, but rarely does so for the boys who collaborated with him. Some other things that would make a reader believe the author has a strong tie to Harvard. Some of these are the statement that High school is all about building a strong resume. This maybe true for a majority of students entering any number of collages, but Harvard is so hard to get excepted in to, one must have an out standing résumé. Another theme repeated multiple times in both the novel and film is the “Harvard connections” and “men of Harvard” In the world of the students image is everything and who you know is important. From my experience this not true of other schools, and I do not know anyone who attends a school that is so image conscious.. I also do not agree with the two degree concept. College campuses are so big that I do not believe everyone is connected by only person. This maybe true for the schools with in a school , like we have at Rutgers. Or maybe this just a mentality the author has from attending or studying Harvard.
Other things I noticed while reading “the facebook effect” is how building the webpage benefited the boys. Mark Zukerburg was not a people person. After Popularity of his creation spread, he had to become better at giving interviews and press conferences. A person can take a class on public speaking but this not a skill that can really be taught in classes. After much hard work and thinking Zukerburg was able to develop this skill because it would effect his business. Also, the facebook was something Zukerburg was passionate about. When promoting something that matters, a person is more likely to be a better speaker than, if they were giving a topic selected at random. The roommates of Zukerburg also benefited from the creation of facebook. None of these boys went to school for business, but or computer programming. After being handpicked by Zukerburg, they each quickly learned their given job.
