关于马克·扎克伯格和脸书的10个事实(2)

脸书并不是扎克伯格的第一项发明

Zuckerberg began to use his father's computer at around 10 years old. His father, Ed, was anearly advocate of the digital future and bought his first hard drive in 1984. He gave his sonprogramming lessons on the family's Atari, and he bought each of his four children a computer.A fast learner, Mark began building a program that connected his father's home and officecomputers which allowed the family to send messages from one to the other. The family called itZuckNet.

扎克伯格在十岁左右就开始使用他父亲的电脑了。他爸爸是早期数字化时代的支持者，在1984年就买了第一张硬盘驱动器。他教扎克伯格关于雅达利(Atari)的程序编制并且为四个孩子分别配备了一台电脑。作为一个学霸，马克很早就开始编制程序，他曾编过一个可以通过连接家里和办公室的电脑，让家人之间相互发送消息的程序。家人们称它为"扎克网"。

While in high school, Mark created the Synapse Media Player, which is an app that uses artificialintelligence to read a user's listening habits and recommend music based on their apparentmusic tastes. He created it in the early 2000's and submitted it as a school project. Back in theday, reviews of the app said that is was a very innovative media player, although a bit buggy.Users found it's brain feature to be amazing and that while it is slow going while it is firstlearning the user's music taste, after a while it becomes very impressive. AOL and Microsoftboth took notice of the design and tried to convince him to join their ranks while he was still inhigh school. Zuckerberg turned them both down and instead proceeded to higher education atHarvard University where he would invent Facebook. Microsoft tried to poach Zuckerberg againa few years later, offering to buy Facebook for $15 billion. Once again, Zuckerberg turned themdown preferring to go his own way.
