While it is good that this article tries to shine light on the things that really matter, discrediting social networks or apps that solve specific problems doesn't help the cause. The author is criticising 23 years olds that they are not curing cancer, fixing water pollution in 3rd world countries and the like. How are they supposed to do that? They can't start companies like that. This is the job of entrepreneurs who have built a company before and who could accumulate the wealth to take on these challenges by working for several years. However, these young kids can start by building an app for $1,000 that they would like to see in the world that their 23 year old mind finds interesting. Sometimes, these apps are fruity, some are crazy, but this stimulates creativity. Then, once they have sold their company they can take on the problems that take millions of dollars before they can even be started. I don't like about this post is critizing really young founders who haven't even finished college. It should rather look at the second time entrepreneurs who are still building fruity apps.
