Facebook Creator is Time Person of the Year

Time magazine has named Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, as and their Person of the Year 2010. Zuckerberg,
26, is the second-youngest winner of the accolade. He won the award for connecting 12 percent of the planet on his social
networking site. This is an impressive statistic considering the site has yet to make any impression in China. Mr
Zuckerberg said on Wednesday, naturally on his Facebook page: "Being named as Time Person of the Year is a real honor
and recognition of how our little team is building something that hundreds of millions of people want to use to make the
world more open and connected. I'm happy to be a part of that." The young entrepreneur owns a quarter of the shares of
Facebook and is a multi-billionaire.
It was uncertain for a while who would win Time’s annual honour. Readers voting in the online poll chose the Wikileaks
founder Julian Assange as the winner. However, Time panelists chose Mark Zuckerberg. Time’s editor Richard Stengel
explained they chose Zuckerberg because he was a more positive figure
than Assange and because he changed “how we all live our lives in
ways that are innovative and even optimistic”. He wrote on Time’s
website: "There is an erosion of trust in authority, a decentralizing of
power and at the same time, perhaps, a greater faith in one another…" he
said. Mr Stengel continued: “Zuckerberg sees the world as filled with
potential friends.” Perhaps only the Facebook creator himself knows
how much more he can do.

Vocabulary:
Accolade: something granted as a special honour or in recognition of merit.
Impressive: If an object or achievement is impressive, you admire or respect it, usually because it is special, important or very large.
Impression: an idea or opinion of what something is like.
Entrepreneur: someone who starts their own business, especially when this involves seeing a new opportunity.
Poll: a study in which people are asked for their opinions about a subject or person.
Erosion: the weakening or damage done to something by a series of gradual losses of parts of it.
