Just a couple years ago, could you have actually guessed that you would actually be intrigued by the idea of seeing a movie about Facebook? Today, we understands it is profoundly influencing almost every person's life. Half of the American population is on Facebook. The company is valued at $30 billion dollars. It's Founder is only 26 years old. It's not hard to build an interesting story for a movie. But still, a blockbuster film? No one could have ever forseen it. Even Google did not get it's own feature film. Then again, Facebook has already overcome Google as the number one site. What amazes me is how unpredictable these trends are. Even today, while we start thinking OK - the Internet is fairly well defined. We've got these established leaders and no one is set to overtake them anytime soon - Google, Facebook, Twitter. But wouldn't we have said that a few years ago about AOL, MySpace and Microsoft?
Whatever the case, the release and success of a film like "The Social Network" makes these types of bemusings officially mainstream. The Internet is as much a part of the average American's life as Television. Now, we just need to learn how to ensure it is a balanced part of the rest of our life and we do not turn into Internet Addicts!
