Film Cultural Artifact Introduction

                                                                                 Introduction

            People always say “our children are the future”. I believe the essay I wrote here helps solidify that statement. Writing about inventions and ideas that kids have made in the last few years brought me some very interesting results. Just like in the movie “The Social Network” which the essay is based off of, most people didn’t believe that Mark Zuckerberg idea could have been as successful as it was. Mark was obviously very bright and nobody questioned that however being a kid many people believed he was in way over his head. When the Winklevoss twins go to the dean at Harvard to tell the Dean that Mark Zuckerberg stole their idea, the dean didn’t see the significance in the idea and simple told the twins to make a new idea. If the Dean of Harvard understood how valuable the idea of Facebook was at that time, then h obviously would have intervenes and then maybe history is changed. However the dean of Harvard thought he was dealing with a small problem with a bunch of kids choose to ignore the situation letting the Harvard college students deal with it amongst themselves.  

            The point here is these kids didn’t need any support from adults to create their ideas and inventions. The adults in the film did not support Mark or the rest of his team in building Facebook, most of them liked the idea but probably thought to themselves “how big can this idea get with a kidding in charge”. Mark Zuckerberg didn’t care that he didn’t have the support or help from any adults because he had a great idea and he supported it 100 percent. As a result he makes millions upon millions of dollars on a product that people all over the world use. Kids everywhere even without support from adults are inventing multimillion dollar products that show that ideas of the future especially ones that involve technology can be made by kids. In the essay below you will see how the children of now are the future.
