Today, Harvard's closed-captioning system apparently malfunctioned — just as Mark Zuckerberg was giving his commencement speech at the university.
And it ruled.
Like any good commencement speech, there were important career lessons for the graduates.
This perfectly sums up Zuck’s speech
And wise words to look deep within oneself.
As well as the poignant reminder that, when things don't go your way, you should dust yourself off and never FEELINGORRYOROR yourself.

But fear not. Zuckerberg's words were a balm for their restless souls.

We now go live to Mark Zuckerberg addressing the passengers of the titanic
They may not have liked the message provided by Harvard's closed-captioning algorithms, but there was little they could do.
The woman behind Zuck looks like she is straight up falling asleep and I love it.
The algorithm, you see, is always right.
lol this is the opposite of what he said
CORRECTION
This story and headline has been updated to note it was Harvard's closed captioning that malfunctioned, not Facebook's.
