Facebook has changed a lot since the early days.
Remember poking each other?
Remember writing on each other’s walls?
Come to think of it, what even was a Facebook wall?
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has changed a lot, too.
This is Mark Zuckerberg’s complete transformation.
“The dentists and hygienists needed to share data on the patients and chat.
“And I called it ZuckNet.”
Pretty quickly, Zuckerberg’s parents realized that they should nurture their son’s budding talent.

Sometimes it was tough to stay ahead of him.”
In high school, Zuckerberg fenced, and he also developed a program called Synapse that would recommend music.

Zuckerberg decided to put Harvard’s facebook online, adding social media capabilities.
He called it “Thefacebook.com.”
The tech press soon came calling.

The case took several years to work its way through the system.
In 2009,The Guardianreported that Facebook had paid $65 million to settle the lawsuit.

Zuckerberg’s invention had gone global, and the money had followed.
Zuckerberg, perhaps understandably, wasn’t a fan of the way the movie made him look.
Nevertheless, the film was a hit, racking up awards.
At the Golden Globes, screenwriter Aaron Sorkin attempted to placate Zuckerberg.

“Ultimately I think this stuff gets used for good.”
In 2010, though, he was flying high.
The couple married in 2012, tying the knot the day after Facebook went public.
“Priscilla doesn’t need to be on the cover of a magazine.
We are in a reality-star ecosystem,” venture capitalist Heidi Roizen said.
“But there is a spectrum to this stuff, and some people take a more thoughtful approach.”
In 2010, he announced an initiative to help overhaul schools in Newark, New Jersey.

Two more children followed.

A third daughter, this one named Aurelia, arrived in 2023.

“We don’t give them everything,” Zuckerberg said.
Chan chimed in, “They have chores; they have responsibilities.”
Law professor Joel Fleishman toldThe Guardianthat Zuckerberg’s philanthropy may have a positive effect on other super-rich people.
The Zuckerberg Chan Initiative continues today.
In a 2019 interview withCBS News, Zuckerberg committed to working on healthcare.
The scandal grew so large, in fact, that Mark Zuckerberg was called to testify before Congress.
He insisted that Facebook would be looking into how this happened.
Zuckerberg reckoned with his own personal complicity in aVoxinterview.

Sure, the demo was ultimately revealed to have been staged, but who’s counting?
Can we bring back poking instead?
A longtime friend told theNew York Times, “I don’t think he’s doing it for looks.
I think he’s doing it because he’s really into jujitsu.”
