Well, he worked so hard and stuck with his education so he should well know what it takes to be an engineer.
Engineers are not programmers. Engineers build stuff. Facebook is not stuff. It is nothing. It does not add any value at all.
America has become expert at producing nothing of value including facebook and sukkerberg.
I agree with this and #1. Social media is not engineering and neither is gaming IMO. Some software fits the definition of engineering but there is not sense of adventure or achievement when I was briefly stuck working on webpages and crap like that.
I use to think like that, but engineers ARE people and PEOPLE need reasons for doing things. Getting people to do the right thing is therefore of the HIGHEST value and Facebook (or FreeRepublic for that matter) , can work towards that goal. (FreeRepublic much more so than Facebook obviously ). The moral of this story is that by telling yourself such things don't matter you let our enemies dominate the conversation!
