Unit 1: Social Networks (1èreG_gr1)

The Social Network (Movie trailer)

The document under is a trailer of a movie entitled “The Social Network”, released in 2010. It is about how Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook. We have learned that it was created in the fall of 2003 by Zuckerberg and one of his friends. Originally, the goal of the website was to connect Harvard’s students together and to catch the attention of clubs such as brotherhoods to have a better image and be accepted by the members of these clubs. His website became so famous that it first spread to other American universities then it hit/reached the whole world.

Nevertheless, it had consequences on Zuckerberg’s personal life, in fact he was accused of breaching security, stealing personal information, violating copyrights. On top of that, he was accused of having stolen the idea of “thefacebook.com” from two brothers from Harvard. Eventually, he was excluded/expelled from Harvard.

Homework: Learn the lesson.
