Mark Zuckerberg – Time Person of the Year

facebook Mark Zukcerberg has been selected as Time’s Person of the Year.

“Being named as Time Person of the Year is a real honor and recognition of how our little team is building something that hundreds of millions of people want to use to make the world more open and connected. I’m happy to be a part of that, ” Zuckerberg said in a statement.

“Zuckerberg is part of the last generation of human beings who will remember life before the Internet, though only just,” Time wrote. “He started Facebook as a way for people on college campuses to communicate with and keep track of one another — and occasionally poke each other and leer at each other’s pictures — but in a broader sense he was firing the first shot in his generation’s takeover of the Internet.”
