What are you talking about? So what if WhatsApp is used by half a billion people? Good for the engineers, I guess? How is my third world country so much better off with WhatsApp than with the crappier alternative, vs. my third world country if it could attract its best and brightest into becoming teachers? I could see no better future for my country than some way to get and keep great teachers.
- aianus 11y ago> with WhatsApp than with the crappier alternative The crappier alternative(s) would have to be written by an engineer too. Anyways, I think you're missing my point: there aren't enough exceptional 'best and brightest' to do everything. You want the 'best and brightest' to have maximum leverage as individuals over the world and that means politics, finance, and engineering, not teaching.
