An observation on the value of Facebook [View all]

[Godot51]

So, now the Facebook network is valued at billions of dollars.
How many calories does it produce?*
Can it provide shelter from the elements?
Can it teach a child to read and write?
Can it teach other needful, useful skills, such as farming, carpentry and sewing?
Can it heal the sick or ease their suffering?
Can it dispense justice and protect the weak and the unempowered?
A $100 billion doesn't buy much these days.


*Go hungry for a week and then have someone offer you a free meal or a free iPad. Your choice.
