Oh I'm sorry, I work at a social networking entertainment start-up. You're absolutely right, I should be changing the world. I'll get started on that right away.

Letsee, I'm going to need some granola, Beatles tunes, a hipster haircut, and a peace-encouraging, inner-city-black-kid-helping, hippie-esque, capitalism-hating, new-age social-green-Obama-natural job. Doing something. That will change the world. Yeah.

FWIW, I founded a casual-gaming + social-networking site in 2007. So I'm including myself in that smart-people-doing-useless-things complaint.

And I maintain that a social networking entertainment startup is most likely useless. If that's what you wanna do, more power to you. But don't kid yourself about its importance.

Textbook example of a strawman attack. A social networking entertainment startup will probably "change the world" about as much as your granola lover will.
