Really solid reply, and a great explanation.

I completely understand that from a shareholder perspective companies like facebook and snapchat are huge wins.

However my argument is that as a society these companies have very little value. I believe that the current wave of tech startups are the equivalent of shareholder junk food. I nice relatively immediate return, and no real long term value.

Providing more compelling forms of communication is incredibly valuable to society.
