Was the idea for Facebook stolen? While this might not be related directly to Ed Tech this RollingStone story looks at whether or not Mark Zuckerberg stole the ideas from classmates who were starting ConnectU. I find this story is very similar to the accusations against Bill Gates stealing the idea for Windows. The ethics of who owns a website, the coders or the people who thought up the idea. Many of my middle school students think Gates developed the internet. I think we need to teach the history of computers, the internet and influential websites.
