BAM!i'm SO not surprised by their choice this year...!
Mark Zuckerburg is the founder of Facebook--the ultra popular social networking site that i'm sure YOU even have an account for. c'mon, over 500 million people around the world have an account with Facebook (that's half a billion!!!!)
even a movie was made out of it-- 「The Social Network」 which by the way received great reviews by critics and is even nominated for the upcoming Golden Globes!
Oscars too, i'm sure of it!
(i've seen the movie as well and i love it -- ivys thoughts on Social Network)
he has undoubtedly created a new way for people to network around the world and it still continues to break new barriers and expand. it definitely changed the way we communicate and share information with friends and families.
o, and did i mention he's the youngest billionaire in the world??
my other guess would've been Lady GaGa but i think her popularity may be slowly dwindling down...and she appeals only to a certain demographic.. it's not as broad as Facebook that's for sure. ( fun fact: Lady GaGa was the first person to achieve 10 million fans on Facebook. she reached 10 million before Obama did! O_o )
