TIME magazine chose 26-year old Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as its
Person of the Year for 2010. Since 1920, TIME has chosen a person, or a group
of people, who have changed the world for the better, or sometimes for
worse.
Mark Zuckerberg won the award because he has created a new style of
communication and a new way of exchanging information. In 2010 a film
called The Social Network portrayed Zuckerbergs life at Harvard and
what happened later on. After winning the prize, Zuckerberg stated that he is
happy that Facebook has succeeded in being something that millions want to
use and that obviously it wouldn't be possible without the Internet.
By 2006, 13 million people used the social network; today Facebook is used by
1.06 billion people around the word. Although 51% of all Americans have a
Facebook account, three out of four users come from outside the US. Since
2004 Mark Zuckerberg has earned about 15 billion dollars, making him the
youngest billionaire and one of the richest people in the United State.
