I am pretty tired of hearing about Facebook, Myspace, Twitter or other social networking sites. If you do not want to participate, then don't set up a profile. I don't agree with the "Greed is Good" mentality. It justifies the actions of those in corporate America to achieve their own goals no matter who they crush along the way. In their eyes, money is power. But whatever happened to integrity and loyalty? Our culture views those power-hungry entrepeneurs as the "soul-less villians" who find pleasure in crushing the dreams of others. Those entrepeneurs that maintain integrity and allow others to share in the triumph are the true heroes. They achieve their goals with dignity and self-respect. The portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg in the film's ending shows him as a man who has billions but no friendships. Money can't buy you happiness.
I agree that Facebook along with other networking sites and even text messaging have been revolutionary. However, they have enabled us to communicate without ever speaking or looking at another human being. People isolate themselves at their computers and lose all of their social/people skills. For an up-and-coming entrepeneur, I would advise you to observe portrayals of businessmen like Zuckerberg before beginning your business ventures. Keep yourself grounded and never forget where you came from or who shaped you along the way. Maintain integrity and dignity in every decision. You will be admired and respected more when you achieve your goals in the right way.
