Marcio Jose Sanchez/Associated Press Mark Zuckerberg at a conference in San Francisco in April. Is Mark Zuckerberg a bad person? Did he, as the movie “The Social Network” suggests, steal the idea for Facebook from two of his fellow undergraduates at Harvard? One view — recently expressed by the movie’s screenwriter, Aaron Sorkin — is that in some ways it doesn’t matter.

I had, of course, used his company's software, and throughout high school had even become something of an expert on its staggeringly pervasive glitches. This collection of arcane computer knowledge, not to mention a general obsession with technology, led to my starting a business called Think Computer that I incorporated as a high school freshman. Starting a company at a young age is to say the least, unusual, and so fitting the hobby I enjoyed so much into the form of a college application essay without sounding overzealous or pretentious initially proved difficult.
