I agree with you on the ick factor, but on the other hand I think there is much to be said for the idea of getting disparate and non-communicative cultures to try to understand each other, and if thats going to happen through the mechanism of kids growing up and using social networking, then I'm all for it. Of course, I'd much prefer to see someone go to places like Tanzania and so on, with the goal to teach these people how to make their own drones and networks out of the scrap pollution fobbed off on them by the Western world, and who knows .. maybe we'll see that happening now that the idea is out there. From my perspective, it's damned easy to make a drone out of an old DVD player, some pieces of foamboard, and so on - whats not so easy is to find an application for it that will truly help people. Put an old cell phone in the fuselage and use it to transmit bitcoin between the villages? Great f'n idea..
