> I can keep in touch with people across the globe for almost no cost. That is real innovation - few people could even imagine the internet - fewer predicted it and I don't think anyone foresaw the impact it's had on humanity. While absolutely true, I still prefer if I could go to anywhere in the world with supersonic aircraft, or go ~1000km within 2~4 hours via highspeed rail network and meet someone in person. Not to say the internet is bad, it is awesome that I can video call friends and family. I'm just not sure if 18B for WhatsApp is worth it.
