What Happens When a College Sophomore Decides to Connect the World

A simple website designed to help Harvard students find each other launched in 2004. Today, it connects one-seventh of humanity. Facebook has reunited families separated for decades, enabled strangers to donate kidneys to one another, and sparked political revolutions across continents. The platform reached one billion active users in just eight years-but the numbers barely capture what's truly remarkable here. This wasn't the work of seasoned executives with MBAs and decades of corporate experience. It was built by an introverted programmer who simply believed the world needed to be more open and connected. As Paul Adams from Facebook observed, the web stopped being built around content and started being rebuilt around people. That shift didn't happen by accident-it happened because someone dared to imagine it differently.
