The Social Network
You know, you really don’t need a forensics team to get to the bottom of this. If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you’d have invented Facebook.

After all these corporate films we’ve been watching we thought it would make sense to go back to the one that sort of started it all. It’s actually hard to believe that this film is 14 years old, and it was made only 6 years after Facebook was launched.
What we see in The Social Network all seems so innocent now - talking to your friends. Looking at their pictures. Seeing who they are friends with. In 2024 it’s not about friends any more, it’s about entertainment. It’s a never ending stream of short videos, tailored specifically to your tastes, that makes hours or even days disappear in a flash and you barely remember what you saw.
One has to wonder what horrific dystopian trick they’ve got in store for us next.
