If I were a member of a committee
choosing a person of the year, I would choose Mark Zuckerberg who is one of the
co-founders of social network website Facebook. First of all, I want to
introduce him. He was born on May 14, 1984 in New York, United States. He
finished Philips Exeter Academy and Ardsley High School, and then he studied
Computer Science in Harvard University. However, he left Harvard due to
indefinite reasons. During his university education his friends and he
established many computer programmes and founded the Facebook which has been
the most popular one. It is said that Mark had stolen the idea of The Facebook
from Winklevoss twins, and he was sued at the court because of stealing the
idea of Facebook. However, nothing can change that Mark has been the founder of
Facebook since he just took the idea, and he added many functions to it.
Moreover, twins had thought the Facebook was used only in Harvard University,
but Mark provided Facebook to be used in different universities and in various
continents.
What if Mark had stolen the idea, and he
developed it by adding new features? There would be anything called Facebook.
Now Facebook has 1.2 billion active
users in all over the world. People think that if Facebook is a country, it
would be the most crowded country after China and India. In addition, Mark is
among the youngest and richest men, and his net worth comes from his %28.1
equity stake in Facebook.
In conclusion, why I want Mark
Zuckerberg to be a person of the year is that he is innovative, young and
intelligent, and also he shows that education is not everything, and it is
significant to have entrepreneurial spirit.
