Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Zuckerberg is an American media magnate, internet entrepreneur, and philanthropist, born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York, United States. Zuckerberg showed his talent in computer programming from an early age, when he developed his first software program for his father’s dental practice back when he was a teenager.

His idea of having fun in high school meant coding video games, even though he was also known for having an inclination towards Greek mythology and fencing. He attended Harvard University, even though he already made a name for himself thanks to his programming skills long before that.

His brilliant ideas, creative engineering, and great programming skills, mixed with the efforts of several of his colleagues from Harvard led to the creation of Facebook, a social media platform we all use every day.

At first, Facebook was a social networking site created only for Harvard. According to TheBestSchools.com, “After its launch in 2004, Zuckerberg and his team departed Harvard for Silicon Valley in order to export Harvard’s social media forum to the world.”

At present, there are more than one billion users on Facebook, and Mark Zuckerberg, the chairman, and CEO is worth more than 121.5 billion USD. Mark Zuckerberg’s innovation represents a real game-changer, leaving aside its reach and economic status. Facebook has definitely affected real human connections, relationships, and community building.
