Historien om Facebooks begyndelse

“it’s time” Mark yelled, as he was standing in the door to our college dorm. He was standing in the door, yelling down the hallway for people to come see him release what he called “Facebook”. It was one of his newest programs, a type of social platform for people to chat and share their thoughts. He had been working on this for many months, even years I think, he didn’t tell us because he wanted to do this on his own without anyone telling him what to do. Little did he know that this would become the biggest social media in the world. It's now nearly 16 years ago and his so-called “Facebook” is going stronger than ever. He is now one of the wealthiest people in the world and, as a friend would say, one of the smartest.

It was a late afternoon and we had just eaten pizza rolls, fresh from the mike as Mark would have put it. He suddenly jumped up from his computer and said very calmly, “it's done.” We all just stared at him, since he had only mentioned the thing he was working on once or twice, so we had forgotten all about it. He just stood there and stared at us, and as it slowly clicked for us, we lit up, one after the other. Suddenly everyone looked at each other and we all ran out the door, down the hallway and started knocking on all the doors in the building. Nearly everybody in our building was computer nerds, so we soon had a group of about 50 guys, and some girls, in our room. Some people didn’t even know what was going on and others knew more than me, his best friend. We were all waiting for him to push the little green “publish” button. Then he did it. Everyone in the room was quiet for at least 2 minutes, some ran back to their rooms to set up an account on their computer, others were talking, some even just starring at the screen. He had done it, of course we didn’t know at the time, but Mark had just created what computer nerds would call a miracle.
