With Instagram selling for $1bil & Draw Something selling for $200mm, why would any innovator bother trying to solve real world problems. - @tomkrieglstein (Twitter user)
I guess the guy has a point. Why would a computer genius try to create a software or application that can map outdoor water features or weather pattern or a GIS application that has social implications if an application like Instagram can be sold at a billion dollar value? Truth is I won't be surprised if someone makes a complex rock-paper-scissors app and earn millions from it.
I can only nod my head in agreement when someone pointed this out online: "Imagine what the cancer research industry could do with $1 billion." Yun na yun e.
Something's wrong with the humanity's priorities... with our priorities.

ano ba ang instagram kasi? anu-ano ang kahalagahan nito sa buhay natin, kung meron man?
hehehe. angeli, kapag nag-instagram ka, kada isang picture na pinopost mo dun, nababawasan ng 0.01% ang unemployment rate. :-D
hay naku. i wont blame the instagram people na bumigay sila sa USD 1 bn! pero si mark (first name basis kami)... di ko alam naisip nun. bakit di nalang ginawang study/research grant yun. sayang.
baka naman gusto niyang gumawa ng bagay na para sa kanya lang talaga.. kasi gusto niya at hindi dahil dapat gawin niya kasi marami siyang pera...
pero sana.. binigay na lang sa kin yun pera haha
