Background

Mark Zuckerberg, whose real name is Mark Elliot Zuckerberg, is an American computer
scientist and entrepreneur. He was born on May fourteen, nineteen eighty-four in White
Plains, New York. His mother is a psychiatrist and his father a dentist. From an early age,
he showed(t) an interest in computers and was chosen to illustrate an application called
Synapse.
This application allows to identify the musical tastes (test) of each individual, to identify
a playlist corresponding to his musical tastes.(test)
In two thousand and three, the young boy enters Harvard University for his graduate
st(e)udies. He (desidide) to hack into the Harvard computer network and steal all the
photos of the girls on campus. He then created a "Facemash" site where (any one) could
vote on who was the most beautiful girl on campus. Wi(v)in 24 hours of its publication,
Facemash was visited by over four hundred and fifty people. Subsequently, Zuckerberg
was accused of violating security, cop(i)(wait), and personal privacy with his website.
POWERTPOINT
While on the verge of expulsion, the young computer sayentist is saved by two men,
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Olympic rowing champions, who express their interest in the
young computer sayentist. They ask him to design a student networking platform called
"Harvard Connection.
Instead of working on this project, Mark Zuckerberg has the idea to develop his own
university community platform. To develop this network, he asked(t) his friend Eduardo
Saverin for funding. Together, the two friends establish() the first version of Facebook. The
site was first launched(t) as "TheFacebook.com," which was only accessible to Harvard
students, before being open(d) to students in the Boston area and at Ivy League schools.
POWERPOINT
The rapid success of the social network pushes Mark Zuckerberg to expand his network on a
national scale. The computer sayentist then left Harvard to go to Paolo Alto in California.
A few months later, Microsoft decid(i)d to invest in the company by contributing $ two
hundred and forty million
In 2010, he will resort to lawsuits with the Winklevoss brothers and his ex-partner, claiming
that Mark stole the idea of Facebook.

The life of the young billionaire inspa(yens) some American filmmakers like David Fincher.
The latter brings to the screen his journey in the film "The Social Network".
