Mark Zuckerberg : The Founder And Ceo

Many know him as the man who invented the social networking website, Facebook. He is mainly known as a very rich and generous man. Zuckerberg has donated his profits to a failing school, has spent billions to help research on childhood sickness, and he has signed pledges saying that he will donate his money to charities. Although, he did have a setback. Mark was blamed for supposedly stealing ideas from college classmates on a social site that they had made for Harvard

Zuckerberg developed an interest in computers at an early age. When he was 12, he used Atari BASIC to create a messaging program he named "Zucknet." His father used the program in his dental office. He did this so that the receptionist could inform him of a new patient. The family also used Zucknet to communicate within the house.

As Mark Zuckerberg states “his company is more than a business it was pursuing a “social mission” to make the world a better place by encouraging self-expression and conversation.” Like facebook for an example wants to “make the world a better place” by creating a website for everyone to post and share what they want so everyone is connected to each other and making the world a better place. Zuckerberg also states that “People sharing more creates a more open

Reform is to make an alteration, a change that is meant to improve crises. In the perspective of the three key players, reform meant something almost completely different when discussing the educational status of Newark public schools. To Mayor Cory Booker, Governor Chris Christie and Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg, reform meant implementing changes that completely deviated from previous establishments. The three contributors each had their opinion of public education, Initially Zuckerberg was not bothered with the idea of implementing simple changes to public school all the while keeping it under public administration, but after discussing with the other two key players they all suddenly shared a common goal, public education had to

After watching the movie The Social Network, the first thing I did was to search for Mark Zuckerberg’s real life experiences to see which parts are facts and which are fictions. As a matter of fact, this Harvard genius that founded the world’s first social network was not as childish as the movie portrayed. At least he didn’t write programming for getting into elite Harvard “Final Clubs” or for retaliating his girlfriend. During Mark’s high school, Microsoft and AOL tried to purchase the music player that he built and also invited him to join them. However, Mark decided to enroll in Harvard for further education. From where I stand, although the movie is fictional, it can easily

Zuckerberg strategy was doomed…because it included no systemic assault on poverty, the real enemy of achievement” (Russakoff, 2015).

Mark Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984 in White Plains, New York. Mark came from a well- educated family and struggled by no means. Marks mother was a psychiatrist and his father worked in dentistry. Zuckerberg showed an interest in computers at an premature age and by creating a messaging program that his dad would use in his workplace so he could connect with the receptionist without getting up. Zuckerberg attended Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire where he was the leader of the fencing crew. After high school, Mark attended Harvard for a projected 2 years. While at Harvard Mark developed a program called course match. Course match is a program in which students can pick courses based on other enrollments.

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was born into a Jewish family on May 14th, 1984 in the suburbs of New York. He was the second born of four and was the only boy. Zuckerberg’s parents, Edward and Karen, did well financially. Karen was a psychiatrist and Edward was a dentist with his own Dental Practice next door to their home. Zuckerberg was already interested in programming by the time he reached elementary school and received his first computer at the age of 10. Zuckerberg’s father began teaching him Atari basic programming when he was 12 years old and Zuckerberg took that knowledge to create a messenger that he named, “ZuckNet”. This messenger connected his computer to the dental office computer and the receptionist was able to transfer a message to Edward to notify him when a patient arrived to the office. Zuckerberg admired coding on the computer and he not only developed communication tools but he also developed games from his friends’ drawings. Zuckerberg did this as a hobby but his father saw more potential and proceeded to hire David Newman, a computer tutor, who gave Zuckerberg private lessons. Zuckerberg was the stereotypical “nerd” as a child, he had a Star Wars themed bar mitzvah, he enjoyed fencing, and he programmed computers in his spare time.

This lawsuit almost caused the company to shutdown but after Zuckerberg denied any claim, the lawsuit was dropped. It also went through privacy issues in 2009 when they changed their policies, which caused a huge controversy with users. Zuckerberg eventually reverted back to the old privacy policy and is still in the works of changing it. Even with all these controversies, Facebook is still widely used for social networking such as keeping in contact with friends by writing on each others’ walls, posting photos, updating statuses, writing notes, joining groups and attending events.

Mark Zuckerberg did not have the routine high school experience. Unless, being recognized by Bill Gates for programing and offered millions is normal. During his high school years, Mark created a software called Synapse, a music player that is capable of identifying your musical preferences. Synapse was rated and reviewed rather positively in worldwide technology digests. After this program, Zuckerberg initially was recognized by Microsoft. Microsoft offered Zuckerberg a bountiful selection of jobs and even offered to buy his software. AOL tried to recruit Mark in order to gain possession of this software. Although, Zuckerberg denied these offers and the chance to be a millionaire and enrolled in Harvard University. He entered his college years with a reputation from Synapse, as a high school programing prodigy.
