· Tuesday, October 19th, main library, 10.27Am, seven users of the eleven computers are “Facebooking”

The social network

A movie by David Fincher, the social network is a movie inspired on real facts: The creation of the famous social networking site Facebook. The story take place at Harvard University in 2003. The main character, Mark Zuckerberg , when his girlfriend Erica breaks up with him, decides to write vengefully on the web about her. In the following of this madness, he creates Facemash, a website were the university guys are invited to rate campus girls against each other. That was the beginning of Facebook.

This movie shows Two mains things:

· The Big importance of little acts on the web

When Erica broke up with Mark, he went and writes bad things on the website, which makes about 6600 potential readers in Harvard, 30489 potential readers within people who often visit the Harvard website and millions of people all around the word. This act was just an act of vengeance and after in the movie we see that he regrets it but when something is on the web, it is hard to erase its consequences.

· Money is the aim, Money is the issue

All is about money and fame. Mark Zuckerberg makes about $22 billons of incomes only with Facebook, The important amount of money create betray: the police is called while the web entrepreneur Sean Parker, who was one of the header of the facebook project ,was in a party where cocaine and other drugs were every where. He has been arrested .Who called the police? It can just be a hazard.Then, what is sure is that Eduardo Saverin, his geek friend who have a better social success that he does, being cut out of the action of Facebook is not hazardous and shows how self fame is important:now he is the only one at the head of this firm.

Plenum Press Editorial, New York, 1978
The most interesting part are the discussions among experts in different fields like laws, chemistry, environmental sciences, etc., trying to find solutions for different types of pollutions. Sometimes, the scientific terminology make the lecture difficult but it is even possible catch the main ideas.
