A ʻaʻole paha ʻo ia i ʻōlelo i ka ʻōlelo hope.

1. Kii o Acton mai kona mau la haumana

Ua hoʻohana ʻo Young Brian i kona wā kamaliʻi a ʻōpio ma Michigan kahi i puka ai ʻo ia mai ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Lake Howell a laila ʻepekema kamepiula mai ke Kulanui ʻo Stanford ma 1994. Ma mua o kēlā, ua aʻo pū ʻo ia ma ke Kulanui o Central Florida a me ke Kulanui o Pennsylvania (1).

ʻO kona makuahine, nāna i hoʻokele i kahi hui moku waiwai, paipai i kāna keiki e hoʻomaka i kāna ʻoihana ponoʻī. Akā naʻe, ua noho kēia i ka makahiki 1992. Luna Pūnaewele ma Rockwell International, a laila hana mea hōʻike huahana ma Apple Inc. a me nā ʻōnaehana Adobe. I ka makahiki 1996, lilo ʻo ia i kanahākūmāhā mau limahana, ua hoʻolimalima ʻia e Yahoo!.

Ua hoʻohuli ʻo ia iā ia e hui pū me Yahoo! ma ke ʻano he ʻenekinia ʻenehana a ua haʻalele ʻo ia mai ke Kulanui ʻo San Jose State. Ua hana pū lāua ʻelua i ka ʻoihana no nā makahiki he ʻumi, e hoʻoponopono ana i nā pilikia he nui i ka ʻoihana IT.

I ka wā i hū ai ka ʻōhū pūnaewele i ka makahiki 2000, ua hoʻopukapuka nui ʻo Acton i ka dot-com. lilo miliona. I Kepakemapa 2007, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Koum lāua ʻo Acton e haʻalele iā Yahoo! Ua huakaʻi lākou a puni ʻAmelika Hema no hoʻokahi makahiki a hoʻolilo i ko lākou manawa i ka leʻaleʻa. I Ianuali 2009, kūʻai ʻo Kum iā ia iho i iPhone. Ma muli o kēia mau micro-investments, ua ʻike ʻo ia he mana nui ka App Store a hiki koke ke hoʻokō ʻia. ʻoihana polokalamu kelepona hou.

Mamuli o keia manao, Ua hele mai ʻo Acton lāua ʻo Koum me ka app Messages. Ua hoʻoholo lākou e kūpono ka inoa ʻo WhatsApp no ​​kā lākou papahana hui no ka mea he nīnau maʻamau ia ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania. He aha ka mea e hana nei? ("Pehea ʻoe?").

I kēlā manawa hoʻi, aia kekahi moʻolelo i hāʻawi pinepine ʻia ma ke ʻano he hihia no ka poʻe ʻōpio a me nā ʻoihana. I ka makahiki 2009, ua hāʻawi manawaleʻa ʻo Acton lāua ʻo Koum e hana no Facebook akā ua hoʻohuli ʻia. E like me ka nui o nā moho hoʻohaʻahaʻa, ua hoʻohana ʻo Brian i ka Twitter e hōʻike i kona huhū.

“Ua hōʻole ʻo Facebook iaʻu. He manawa kūpono loa ia e hālāwai ai me nā kānaka kupanaha. Ke kakali nei au i kaʻu huakaʻi aʻe i ke ola, "i hoʻopuka ʻo ia (2).

2. ʻO ka tweet huhū a Acton ma hope o ka hōʻole ʻia ʻana e Facebook

Ua nānā hou nā mea hana o WhatsApp i ke kamaʻilio ma waena o nā smartphones. ʻO ka pilikino ko lākou mea nui loa.

ʻAʻole i loli nui kā lākou lawelawe mai ka makahiki 2009, ʻokoʻa nā mea hoʻohui liʻiliʻi i nā mana hou. No laila, ʻaʻole pono ka mea hoʻohana e hāʻawi i ka noi me nā ʻikepili kikoʻī e pili ana iā ia iho, e like me ka inoa mua a me ka inoa hope, ke kāne, ka helu wahi a i ʻole makahiki - ua lawa ka helu kelepona. ʻAʻole koi ʻia kahi inoa moʻokāki—e komo nā mea a pau me kahi helu ʻumi-helu.

Ua kaulana koke ka palapala noi ma ʻEulopa a me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 2011, he hōkū maoli ʻo WhatsApp o ka hale kūʻai App, e lanakila ana i kahi paʻa ma nā papa hana manuahi ʻumi.

Ma Malaki 2015, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka mea hou a Acton a me Koum (3), ca. 50 biliona memo - ua hoʻomaka ka poʻe akamai e wānana ʻo WhatsApp, me nā papahana like, e alakaʻi koke i ka nalowale o nā SMS kuʻuna e like me Skype, ka mea i hoʻololi i ka helehelena o ke kelepona honua (ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka hoʻomohala wikiwiki ʻana o nā noi i alakaʻi i ka nalowale o nā mea lawelawe kelepona. he mau kakini manawa). piliona kālā).

Eia naʻe, i ka manawa i hoʻokō ʻia ai kēia hopena kupaianaha, ʻaʻole i loaʻa ka brand iā Acton a me Koum. ʻO kāna kūʻai ʻana iā Facebook ma 2014 i loaʻa kālā nui iā Brian. Ua manaʻo ʻo Forbes ua loaʻa iā ia ma mua o 20% o nā ʻāpana o ka hui, e hāʻawi ana iā ia i ka waiwai waiwai ma kahi o $3,8 biliona. Ma ka papa Forbes Forbes, ʻo Acton kekahi o ke kolu o nā kānaka waiwai loa o ka honua.

Ua haʻalele ka protagonist o kēia kikokikona iā WhatsApp i Kepakemapa 2017. Ma Malaki 20, 2018, ua hōʻike ʻo Forbes ua kākoʻo nui ʻo Acton i ka neʻe ʻana o ka "delete Facebook". "Ua hiki mai ka manawa. #deletefacebook, "wahi a kāna komo ʻana ma ... Facebook. Ua hoʻolaha nui ʻia kēlā ʻōlelo a hoʻolaha ʻia ma nā ʻoihana pūnaewele i ka wā i puka mai ai kahi hōʻino ma luna o ka hōʻike ʻana i ka ʻikepili o kāna mea hoʻohana e ka portal kaulana ʻo Cambridge Analytica.

I kēia manawa, ua komo ʻo Brian i kahi hana hou no kekahi mau mahina - Kahua Hōʻailonaana i noho ai ka pelekikena a nāna i kākoʻo ma ke kālā. ʻO ia ke kuleana no ke kūkulu ʻana a me ka mālama ʻana i ka app Signal, i waiwai nui no ka pale ʻana i ka pilikino. Hana pū ʻo Acton me nā mea hoʻomohala o kēia noi. ʻAʻole pono e hoʻihoʻi ʻia mai iā ia ka 50 miliona mau kālā, e like me kāna i hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai. He hui waiwai ʻole ka Foundation, i hoʻoikaika pinepine ʻia e kona pelekikena i nā ʻōlelo lehulehu.

"I ka nui o ka poʻe e noho ana ma ka pūnaewele, he koʻikoʻi ka pale ʻikepili a me ka pilikino," wahi a ka pūnaewele Signal Foundation. “(…) Pono nā kānaka a pau i ka palekana. Ua hana mākou i kā mākou kumu no ka pane ʻana i kēia pono honua. Makemake mākou e hoʻomaka i kahi hiʻohiʻona hoʻomohala ʻenehana waiwai ʻole me ka nānā ʻana i ka pilikino a me ka pale ʻikepili no kēlā me kēia, ma nā wahi āpau.

Kōkua no nā ʻohana

ʻAʻohe ʻike liʻiliʻi e pili ana i ke ola pilikino o Acton a me nā hana ʻoihana ʻē aʻe ma waho o WhatsApp. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i waena o nā hōkū media kaulana o Silicon Valley.

Ua ʻike ʻia ka haumāna puka ʻo Stanford e makemake nui i ka hoʻopukapuka kālā a me ka philanthropy. Ma hope o ka lawe ʻia ʻana o WhatsApp e Facebook, ua hoʻoili ʻia ʻo ia ma kahi o $290 miliona o nā ʻāpana mai kāna kuleana i Ka Hui Kaiāulu Silicon Valleyi kōkua iā ia e hana i ʻekolu mau hui aloha.

Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia i kāna hana philanthropic me Kāhuāna i hoʻokumu ai ma 2014 me kāna wahine ʻo Tegan. Kākoʻo ka hui i nā ʻohana haʻahaʻa me nā keiki ma lalo o ʻelima mau makahiki, e hoʻomohala ana i nā hana ma ke kahua o ka mālama meaʻai, ke komo ʻana i ka hale a me ka mālama olakino. Mai kāna mau waiwai, ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia ka nui o nā kālā e kōkua i ka poʻe nele - $6,4 miliona ma 2015, $19,2 miliona ma 2016 a me $23,6 miliona ma 2017.

Ma kahi o ka manawa like, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Acton ohana, he kahua aloha i kākoʻo ʻia e ka mea hāʻawi. Loaʻa iā ia ke ʻano o ka hana e like me ka Hāʻawi ʻana i ka Lā a kōkua pū kekahi i ka pale ʻana i nā ʻano holoholona make.

I ka manawa like, ʻaʻole i hōʻole ʻo Acton hoihoi i nā hoʻomaka ʻenehana. ʻElua mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua alakaʻi ʻo ia i kahi pōʻai kālā no Trak N Tell, kahi hui telematics loea i ka ʻimi kaʻa. Me ʻelua mau mea hoʻopukapuka ʻē aʻe, ua hoʻāla ʻo ia ma kahi o $3,5 miliona no ka hui.

Mai hāʻawi pio

Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā ʻatikala hoʻoikaika nui ma ka pūnaewele e pili ana i ka hopena o Acton, kona haʻalele ʻana iā Facebook, a me kāna kūleʻa ʻoihana ma hope. No ka poʻe he nui, he moʻolelo kēia me nā moʻomeheu paipai a me nā ʻōlelo aʻo e haʻalele ʻole. Ua lilo ʻo ia i ʻano hōʻailona o ka hoʻomanawanui a me ka hilinaʻi iā ia iho, ʻoiai nā kūʻē a me nā hemahema.

No laila, inā ua hōʻole ʻia ʻoe e kekahi hui nui, inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i hāʻule i ka ʻoihana a i ʻole ka ʻepekema, e hoʻomanaʻo he manawa pōkole ka hāʻule ʻana a ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e haʻalele i kāu mau moeʻuhane. ʻO ia ka ʻōlelo a ka poʻe makemake e ʻimi i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i kēia moʻolelo.

Ma muli o ka nānā ʻana o ke ola o Brian a hiki i kēia manawa, hiki iā mākou ke heluhelu ma ʻaneʻi a inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i kēia lā, inā hōʻole ʻia ʻoe, ʻaʻole naʻe ʻoe e haʻalele i kāu mau hoʻolālā a noho i ka hana, me ka nānā ʻole ʻana i nā hemahema, inā e hoʻomau ʻoe. kou ala , a laila e hiki mai ka lanakila a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka hiki koke mai.

A i ka wā e hana ai, ʻaʻole ia wale nō kou lanakila, akā he mea hoʻoikaika i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe - ʻo wai ka mea ʻike, ʻo ia hoʻi he hanauna holoʻokoʻa. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻaʻohe mea i hoʻomanaʻo i nā tweet ʻawaʻawa a Acton i ka makahiki 2009 inā ʻaʻole ʻo ia i lanakila i kāna ʻoihana i ʻelima mau makahiki ma hope. Aia wale nō i loko o ka pōʻaiapili o ka mea i hana ʻia i ka makahiki 2014 i hana ʻia ai kahi moʻolelo hoʻohiwahiwa i haʻi ʻia e nā mea a pau e makemake e hoʻoikaika ʻia e ia.

No ka mea, ʻaʻole i ka wā i kākau ʻia ai nā ʻōlelo a Acton - "Ke kakali nei au i ka huakaʻi hou aʻe i koʻu ola" - ʻaʻole i ka wā i kākau ʻia ai, akā i ka wā i kū maoli ai kēia huakaʻi. ʻAʻole paha kēia ʻo Brian wale nō ka huakaʻi hope loa.
