“Facebook’s I.P.O. marks another stage of the Internet’s evolution,” said Charlene Li, founder of the Altimeter Group, a technology consulting firm. “It’s so valuable, because it’s not just about content, it’s about our connections.”
Our society is hyper-focused on the definition of fairness in life. 1% vs. 99%. "He or she doesn't pay their fair share." The haves and the have nots. Yada yada yada.
Mark Zuckerberg skipped all the hand wringing about fairness and developed an idea based on the human being's desire to make connections. As a result of his ingenuity he has changed the world. His grand kids' grand kids will be financially set for life. I still call that pursuing, and experiencing the American dream.
It's time to celebrate Mr. Zuckerberg's contribution to society. It's also time to look in the mirror to contemplate our freedom and the potential of our own contributions.
