I managed to watch this cool movie "The Social Network" just recently and it's really an eye opener. This movie is about Facebook. Now, most of us are already registered users of Facebook, but do we know how it came about?
This movie will answer the questions of:
Who is the founder of Facebook?
Who are the co-founders?
Where did it originate from?
What drives Facebook to succeed?
and many others...
Though the movie is quite boring (as many technical terms and jargons are used throughout the movie), however, as the story unfolds on how facebook came about and how friends can turn into enemies will keep you glued to your seats. Watch how the founder and his team has to struggle through hardship and lawsuits just to make Facebook a reality.
This movie is based closely on the book The Accidental Billionaires written by Ben Mezrich. For those who ain't much of a movie lover, can always opt for the book. I've read thru it last year way before the movie was made. And yes... it's exactly the same as the movie.
So, go grab yourself a copy now from Amazon!
