It's mind-blowing how much money and value is creating from teenagers wasting time.
- wongarsu 12y agoWhat do you consider "wasting time"? All the apps listed can be used in productive ways: Facebook and Snapchat can be used for communication with peers, not unlike talking in person but with less scheduling overhead; Twitter can be used as a quick communication network both for news and for efficient contact with a wider circle of acquaintances; Tumblr and Reddit can be used both as news sites, for acquiring advice from a wide range of people and for broadening your understanding of the world. Of course all those services can be misused as well and can become wastes of time or even be detrimental (for example Tumblr and Reddit are famous for their possibility of creating very powerful echo chambers). But for all I know those teenagers could be using their time much better than I did at their age.
