Yvette Vickers, a former Playboy playmate and Hollywood horror movie star would have been 86 in this year, but nobody exactly knows how old she was at the time of her death! According to the coroner’s report, she was died for a long time ago before her neighbor discovered her death. Her neighbor, Susan Savage noticed cobwebs in her windows and yellowing pile of letters in her mailbox. She reached through a broken window to unlock the door and she reached upstairs, she found Vickers’s mummified boy near a heater that was running at that time. Near the body, Vickers’s computer was also running. The Los Angeles Times posted a story, which quickly went viral throughout the country. Within two weeks, Vickers’s lonesome death was already the subject to thousands of Facebook posts and tweets. She had long been a horror-movie icon, now she was an icon of a different kind of horror, our growing fear of loneliness. Certainly she received much more attention after her death than she did in the end years of her life. With no children, no religious group, and no immediate social circle of any kind, she had begun to look elsewhere for companionship. Vickers had made calls not to friends or family but to distant fans whom she found through fan conventions and Internet sites. Though her web of connections had grown broader but it was shallower, as has happened for many of us (Marche S. 2012). Vickers’s death arises a question to all- does social media

The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich is a non-fiction book about how computer genius Mark Zuckerburg created Facebook in his dorm room. He took the idea of a social networking site and turned it on its head with his friends. Eduardo Saverin was a junior when he met Mark at a social event, the kid with the curly hair who always wore cargo shorts, a hoodie, and Adidas flip-flops. Mark was a computer science major who lived in Eliot House. He had grown up in the upper-middle-class town of Dobbs Ferry, New York. In high school, Mark had supposedly been a master

The first stage at Harvard University was the initial stage of Facebook. Mark cooperated with his friend Eduardo to build Facebook. The first challenge they meet was programming and financial support. Fortunately, Mark was a genius who finished all the basic programs by his own and Eduardo was from rich family who was able to give the financial support for Facebook. Before the Facebook released, they actually communicated not much, but they came up with many new ideas about how to perfect the content of Facebook in discussion. Eduardo kept agreeing with Mark and they ushered in the high point of communication when Facebook released. They didn’t have any conflict with each other until this time and pulled together to popularize Facebook because the success of Facebook made both of them excited. However, conflicts started to happen in here. Winklevoss twins thought the Mark stole their idea of Harvard Connections. Since Facebook was more and more popular, they tried different ways to prevent the development of it. But Mark and Eduardo paid no attention to their prevention because they thought their behavior was useless, so Winklevoss twins chose to sue Mark finally. Then they met Sean Parker, the creator of Napstir. Although Eduardo felt that Sean was not a believable partner because both of his behavior of boasting and bad reputation of character, Mark ignored his opinion and let Sean join Facebook. The second stage in California is their expansion phase.

Zuckerburg built a social media empire and ammassed billions of dollars by getting people to waste their time. Yes, you heard me. He creates ways for you to lose all sense of time and reality, so you spend hours on Facebook.

Based on the novel known as “The Accidental Billionaire,” The Social Network is a film that explains about the creation and the evolution of Facebook, which is one of the most popular social media in the 21st century. In 2003, Mark Zuckerberg, a young student of Harvard University, encountered a sudden heartbreak from his girlfriend during the dinner. Instead of feeling flat, Mark felt angry and confused; therefore, he decided to fight back. On that night, a crazy idea came up to his mind, where he hacked the Harvard University system and stole all the girls, information including their photos. A few hours later after taking the ladies’ information with his friend Eduardo Saverin, the two established a social site known as FaceMash. They encouraged the other students to compare the girls’ faces on this new site. Eventually, the platform paralyzed the school’s system and made Mark famous overnight. However, Mark received his first-time punishment from the university for his action.

Mark Zuckerberg is known for Facebook, in which he is the co-founder and CEO. He was born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York (Mark Zuckerberg Biography). ‘“Zuckerberg developed an interest in computers at an early age; when he was about 12, he used Atari BASIC to create a messaging program he named "Zucknet."’ (Mark Zuckerberg Biography). His father had used this program in his dental office so he wouldn’t have to yell across the building to send or receive information. He also had created games with his friends when he was younger, his friends would draw and he would make a game out of it. To expand upon his interest in computers, his parents hired a tutor, David Newman, to visit with Mark once a week (Mark Zuckerberg

Zuckerberg and his friends created a site that allowed users to create their own profiles, upload photos, and communicate with other users. The group ran the site first called, The Facebook, out of a dorm room at Harvard until June 2004. After his sophomore year, Zuckerberg dropped out of college to devote himself to Facebook full time, moving the company to Palo Alto, California. By the end of 2004, Facebook had 1 million users.

Bill Gates was accused by Steve Jobs for stealing their ideas and applying it on his own software. Mark was also accused by three Harvard seniors, Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra for betraying them when he said he will build a social network called HarvardConnection.com, instead of using their ideas to build ConnectU. The three filed a lawsuit against Mark leading to agreed settlement whereby 1.2 million Facebook shares that were worth US$300 million will be given to them.
