Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Social Network - The Movie
The title of this movie and the promotion of it is a little misleading. "You don't got 500 million friends without making some enemies" implies that the movie will consider some of the problems encountered by Facebook users today. The movie goes back to 2003 at Harvard University when Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook. Some of his Harvard friends believed that he stole the idea from him. After I saw the film I remember how that it was originally aimed at college students. The viewer sees how the service grew and how the legal disagreements were settled. Thankfully for me there were no court room scenes.
If you go to this movie with the expectation of seeing misunderstandings caused by friending and unfriending people you will be disappointed. If you are a Facebook user you will enjoy seeing how it started and developed.
