*From College Dropout to Tech Mogul: The Story of Mark Zuckerberg*
*1. The Early Years: A Prodigy in the Making*
Mark Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York, to Edward and Karen Zuckerberg. From a young age, it was evident that Zuckerberg possessed a remarkable aptitude for technology and programming. As a child, he developed a keen interest in computers and began honing his coding skills, creating various software applications and programs.

Undeterred, Zuckerberg went on to create a new social networking platform called "The Facebook," which initially catered only to Harvard students. The platforms unique features, such as the ability to create profiles, share content, and connect with friends, quickly caught on, and it soon expanded to other college campuses.
