This week, I watched a movie called “The Social Network” on Netflix where the birth of Facebook became extremely influential from Mark Zuckerberg. In today’s world, social networks have improved over the past five years. Facebook made myspace less impactful where Facebook has partnered with the world’s largest and most entertaining media organizations. The benefits that Facebook offers is reaching millions of potential customers, build your email list, gain insights for your audience, and Facebook is the world’s top consumer social website in 2020. When dealing with new changes such as Facebook, you’re going to deal with people who would use it for problematic reasons. In history, evolution has pros and cons witch the lives of people were sacrificed in a way for those with a stronger drive to further improve on their own selfish desires. Whether it’s good or bad, it is debatable for anyone to voice in but the website’s influence on people’s lives is extremely high.

The downfalls of Facebook are addiction to being on the website for too much, identity theft, relationship problems, and anti-social behavior. In life, there are going to be risks in everything one does especially dealing with online people. On Facebook, it can lead to a sense of false consensus, but the app makes your internet searches more personalized on your newsfeed from posts of like-minded people on the app. There are people who went missing because of Facebook having so much access to one life it makes it easier for the wicked-minded people to find their targets. Many people have used trending sources to further insist on the misbehavior online and people who are major influencers on social media. In 2020, Joe Biden used Cardi B to gain more of the minority votes for his presidential campaign. This use of promotion can be debated by the people as good or bad depending on the point of view of the person. 

The social network has the power to bring people together, but also destroy them too. Zack Zuckerberg showed me that there is always room to improve and not to be an ass-hole. At the end of the movie where things seemed to be clearing up, Zack Zuckerberg started to see things in a better light where the young lady expressed a few words of encouragement. Why did Zack prefer someone other than his best friend? Could Zack Zuckerberg treat his only best friend any better than he did? Has Zack Zuckerberg ever find a good connection with someone on Facebook? Why did Zack Zuckerberg drop out and is college worth it? When entering the business world is college a good place to start? In the future how strict will you be with your own children about the use of the social network?
