Timeline

1984

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg (born May 14, 1984) is an American businessman and philanthropist.

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York to psychiatrist Karen (Kempner) and dentist Edward Zuckerberg.

He and his three sisters (Arielle, Randi, and Donna) were raised in a Reform Jewish household in Dobbs Ferry, New York.

His great-grandparents were Jewish emigrants from Austria, Germany, and Poland.

Zuckerberg initially attended Ardsley High School before transferring to Phillips Exeter Academy.

He was captain of the fencing team.

Zuckerberg began using computers and writing software in middle school.

In high school, he built a program that allowed all the computers between his house and his father's dental office to communicate with each other.

During Zuckerberg's high-school years, he worked to build a music player called the Synapse Media Player.

The device used machine learning to learn the user's listening habits, which was posted to Slashdot and received a rating of 3 out of 5 from PC Magazine.

The New Yorker once said of Zuckerberg: "some kids played computer games. Mark created them."

While still in high school, he attended Mercy College taking a graduate computer course on Thursday evenings.

2002

The New Yorker noted that by the time Zuckerberg began classes at Harvard in 2002, he had already achieved a "reputation as a programming prodigy".

He studied psychology and computer science and belonged to Alpha Epsilon Pi and Kirkland House.

In his second year, he wrote a program that he called CourseMatch, which allowed users to make class selection decisions based on the choices of other students and help them form study groups.

Later, he created a different program he initially called Facemash that let students select the best-looking person from a choice of photos.

Arie Hasit, Zuckerberg's roommate at the time, explained:

"We had books called Face Books, which included the names and pictures of everyone who lived in the student dorms. At first, he built a site and placed two pictures or pictures of two males and two females. Visitors to the site had to choose who was 'hotter' and according to the votes there would be a ranking."

The site went up over a weekend, but by Monday morning, the college shut it down, because its popularity had overwhelmed one of Harvard's network switches preventing students from accessing the Internet.

In addition, many students complained that their photos were being used without permission.

Zuckerberg apologized publicly, and the student paper ran articles stating that his site was "completely improper".

An earlier inspiration for Facebook may have come from Phillips Exeter Academy, the prep school from which Zuckerberg graduated in 2002.

2004

He co-founded the social media service Facebook, along with his Harvard roommates in 2004, and its parent company Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook, Inc.), of which he is chairman, chief executive officer and controlling shareholder.

In January 2004, Zuckerberg began writing code for a new website.
