What Harvard thinks of The Social Network

    Odelia Younge: The Social Network especially appeals to the students who grew up with Facebook, their current base of users. In a time when we are seeing more advances in social networking and technology than we ever dreamed of before, power and control of that domain means everything. One thing was clear from the movie -- it was not about the money, but the ideas and the ownership.

    No one wants to be left behind in the race to the top. In college, you feel pressure to be doing important things, seeing places. We feel that especially at Harvard, and the movie does a great job of capturing that feeling. Even if Harvard students are privy to a few more inside jokes of the movie (the Phoenix parties, final club punch, the ad board, etc.), it's a thoroughly delightful and intriguing drama about the network that changed the way we interact. And the best part is, you yourself get to decide whose story you believe, because the movie doesn't do it for you.
