Are you arguing that social networks don't improve peoples lives?
I would. I may even go as far as to say it makes then worse. Deleting my facebook account was probably one of the biggest improvements I've made to my life so far this year.

yeah, thats kind of interesting. I think we will need to define "live improvement".
I can't find much in social networks. I cannot imagine calling a person pouring through the wall of friends feeds' live is much improved.
Yeah, but sometimes it comes from developing technology that sends people to the moon. Or technology that reduced a roomful of vacuum tube computer technology to a chip the size of your fingernail. Or finding ways to mass-produce cheap chip-based computers affordable my hundreds of millions of people... You know, stuff that actually kinda matters, and can improve people's lives.
