Facebook began about seven years ago in a Harvard dorm room. Mark Zuckerberg, and the co-founders of the social network, started with a unique idea and successfully created something that just about everyone in the world will use at some point during their lifetime.

The following statistics were copied directly from the Facebook Press Room - Statistics page. I've underlined a few figures that stand out to me, but please review the entire list.
