Reflection on Social Network


The Internet is considered to the most useful invention, it has changed our way of study, life and even social work. But some may say it is just fictitious world, not the real one. Actually, most of all may feel that social network really is one part of the real world, and that is also the reason why Facebook can be so popular that become the social kingdom in a flash.
In the movie Social Network, like most genius, Zuckeberg is very shy and not good at social. He is really kind of pinchers, he will even change five topics in one minute in conversation, and his girlfriend cannot stand up, and broke up with him. It is the stimulation as well as the inspiration of the Facebook.
He invaded the school network database that night, and collected photos of all the beautiful girls, including his ex-girlfriend, and posted them on his website called Facemash, and students in Harvard even can give marks for the beautiful faces. Large number of clicks caused the collapse of the network, and Zuckeberg was punished by the school board. But he did not care about at all. He accepted the invitation from Winklevoss brothers to found the Harvard Network together, but after the success of Facebook, he was accused of plagiarism.But I think it still very difficult to put the definition of plagiarism, I think Zach really draws on the inspiration of the Harvard network, but he what made ​​the to the Facebook is far beyond the Winklevoss brothers imagination. Let alone Winklevoss brothers did not found any website successfully, even like the Facemash. It is impossible to produce good outcomes, if you do not have great skills, and creativity will remain in its prototype, just like the Winklevoss brothers.
Zuckeberg become the king of the social network, and he also is the youngest billionaire, but he has lost his friends and schoolmates who have helped with the foundation of Facebook. And he is also caught into self-blame for hurting his ex-girlfriend. The success or failure of his life, is really a dilemma.
