Trang 5Mark Zuckerberg was born in 1984, in New York, into a prosperous, professional family He developed an interest in computers at an early age and when he was twelve, he created a messaging program which he named "Zucknet" His dentist father used it in his surgery so that his receptionist could inform him of the arrival of a patient without yelling across the room Together with his
friends, Mark spent much of his spare time as a boy designing and making computer games just for fun
In 2002, Mark enrolled at Harvard University By his second year at the institution, he had acquired a reputation on the campus as a developer of software It was at that time he invented
"Facemash" which compared pictures of female students and allowed users to vote on which one was the most attractive The program became very popular on campus, but was later shut down by the university authorities who deemed it ‘inappropriate’
Based on the buzz of "Facemash", three of Mark's fellow students, Divya Narendra, and twins, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, asked him to work with them on an idea for a social networking site called "Harvard Connection" This site was designed to use information from Harvard's student networks to create a dating site for the university's elite Mark was initially enthusiastic about the complex project but boredom soon set in and he backed out of it to work on his own social
networking site He created a site that allowed users to produce their own profiles, upload photos, and communicate with other people beyond the confines of the university He called the site
"Facebook" and he operated from one small college room until June 2004 when he finally
abandoned his studies to devote himself fully to Facebook and moved the company to California
By the end of 2004, Facebook had one million users and Mark was climbing high However,
in 2006, the multi-millionaire business mogul faced his first big hurdle The creators of Harvard
Connection claimed that he had used their idea, and insisted that he should compensate them for their business losses Mark maintained that the ideas were based on two very different types of social networks but, after lawyers searched his records, incriminating emails revealed that he may have intentionally stolen the intellectual property of his former partners Although an initial settlement of
$65 million was reached between the two parties, the legal dispute over the matter continued well into 2011, after the Harvard Connection creators claimed they were misled with regards to the value
of the Facebook stock
Since amassing his sizeable fortune, Mark has used his millions to fund a variety of
philanthropic causes He has put lots of money into the deteriorating schools system in deprived
parts on New York and he actively encourages other wealthy, young entrepreneurs to follow his example and put back something into society
