How did these seemingly a-social people manage to become some of the richest humans on the planet by bringing people together via computers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The theory is sparked by the recent research by the scientists at the University of Illinois in Chicago, who discovered that men who have ingested a couple of brewskis were far better at solving brain teasers than their sober, allegedly clear-headed counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gamers are known to have beer side-by-side while engaging in virtual warfare. See this interview of Mark Zuckerberg where he is having beer:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Facebook Interview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/--APdD6vejI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, during that very same chat, he admitted that Facebook had only 20 employees, one of whom was &#8220;someone who orders our kegs.&#8221; A start-up that dedicates one employee solely to beer-ordering knows something the rest don&#8217;t. Start-ups like Facebook apparently begin more in the college fraternity than Harvard Business School mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wiley explained it to the Daily News in a more intellectual manner: &#8220;We have this assumption, that being able to focus on one part of a problem or having a lot of expertise is better for problem solving. But that&#8217;s not necessarily true. Innovation may happen when people are not so focused. Sometimes it&#8217;s good to be distracted.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Well beer lovers just got one more reason to drink&#8221;.
