Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York, U.S.A., into a comfortable, well-educated family. He was raised in the nearby village of Dobbs Ferry. His father, Edward Zuckerberg, had a dentist’s office attached to the family’s home. His mother, Karen, worked as a doctor before the birth of the couple’s four children-Mark, Randi, Donna and Arielle. Mark Zuckerberg developed an interest in computers ‘at an early age. When he was about 12, he created a messaging program he named “Zucknet.” His father used the program in his office, so that the secretary could inform him that a new patient had arrived without yelling across the room. The family also used Zucknet to communicate within the house.
Together with his friends, he also created computer games just for fun. had a bunch of friends who were artists,” he said. “They’d come over, draw stuff, and Td build a
game out of it.” To keep up with Mark’s growing interest in computers, his parents hired a private computer tutor called David Newman to come to the house once a
week and work with Mark. Newman later told reporters that it was hard to stay ahead of the clever teenager, who began taking graduate courses at nearby Mercy College around this same time. Mark Zuckerberg later studied at Phillips Exeter Academy, a very good private school in New Hampshire. There he showed talent in fencing, becoming the captain of the school’s team. He was also good at literature, earning a degree in classic literature. Despite these other interests, Mark Zuckerberg remained fascinated by computers, and continued to work on developing new programs. While still in high school, he created a software application for keeping track of and listing a user’s favorite songs on their computer that he called Synapse.Several companies including Microsoft expressed an interest in buying the software, and hiring the teenager before graduation. He declined the offers.
After graduating from Phillips Exeter Academy in 2002 Mark Zuckerberg entered Harvard University. By his second year at the top class institution he had developed a reputation as the most well-known software developer on campus. It was at that time that he built a program called CourseMatch which helped students choose their classes based on the course selections of other users. He also invented FaceMash, which compared the pictures of two students on campus and allowed users to vote on which one was more attractive. The program, became wildly popular, but was later shut down by the school administration because it was thought to be taking students’ attention from their academic studies. Based on the interest caused by his previous projects, three of his fellow students Divya Narendra, and twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss asked him to work on an idea for a social networking site they called Harvard Connection. This site was designed to use information from Harvard’s student networks in order to create a dating site for Harvard University students. Zuckerberg agreed to help with the project, but soon dropped out to work on his own social networking site with friends Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes and Eduardo Saverin. Zuckerberg and his friends created a site that allowed users to create their own profiles, share photos, and communicate with other users. The group ran the site
originally called The Facebook-out of a student room at Harvard University until June 2004. After this, the name was changed to simply Facebook. After his second year, Zuckerberg dropped out of college to devote himself to Facebook full time, moving the company to Palo Alto, California By the end of 2004, Facebook had 1 million users.　（以下サイト筆者により省略）
