It is quite surprising to know the impact that kids have on society and how they change the thinking process of individuals. With all the various new technology available to everyone out there, there are many new concepts that are being developed. Little known to the individual, their new ideas bring out the personality of the individual and how they are being viewed by society. Mark Zuckerberg, a character in the movie The social network is portrayed as the genius who invented Facebook, a social network for students at Harvard University. This entire concept of Facebook started with Facemash, a website that allowed the male student body In Harvard to rate girls on their attractiveness: Of course, this was all being done on one night while being drunk; it was also the night he got dumped by his girlfriend. Being personally rejected took a big toll on him and made him want the need to be known. Every individual has a fear of rejection but in truth if the individual has not been rejected in their life they will never learn something from failing. The rejection that Mark Zuckerberg felt, gave him ambition and the will power to make himself known to society.
The whole concept of Facebook starts on the night that Zuckerberg gets dumped by his girlfriend because of the attitude that he has and his behavior towards other who may have a better standing in the society socially.

The concept of Facebook did not come to him until he came across the Winklelevoss who had the idea of Harvard Connection. The Winklelevoss has every aspect of the social life Zuckerberg wanted: entrance to clubs, money, ect. Zuckerbergs’ personality seems show some kind of irony when it comes to the Winklelevoss twins; they have the social niche that Zuckerberg desired while attending Harvard. This desire brought upon the concept of Facebook where he can have this social niche online.
In the beginning Facebook is restricted to only Harvard students, but soon after the boundaries are expanded to all other universities and around the world. The reason for this: his ex-girlfriend. Zuckerberg came across Erika, while being out with his friend and couple of girls. Seeing that Erika was there, he felt the need to apologize for his behavior in the past. Zuckerberg asked her if she knew about his website, and when she replied that she did not, he felt rejected yet again. This gave him the idea of expanding Facebook all the other universities and users out there.
Feeling rejected is just the way of life, yes a person has hurt feeling in the beginning, but rejection also brings out other factors, like ambition, motivation and will-power. Mark Zuckerberg is viewed as the Harvard drop-out who invented Facebook, but what society does not realize is the reason behind these actions. If Erika had never ended the relationship with Mark, the feeling of rejection might have never occurred to him.
