This has been bugging me since I've watched The Social Network months ago; how does it define a generation?

Oh, and I also don't get why people say its 'inspiring'.. I mean, its not like Zuckerberg was an average guy with average IQ who developed a billion dollar empire. He was a freaking genius surrounded by people of the same intellectual capacity during his tenure at Harvard. If you're not a genius, then its not gonna be inspiring..
