Is he even 35 yet? I dunno. While I won't disagree with what you're saying AVG, It's good to see people with the means trying to do good.
Look at a bunch of the other douches of his generation with similar funding, and what they're doing. That guy that raised the price on that one drug? How many other 'playboys' out there just soaking it in, not doing anything with it.
I can see Zuckerberg eventually becoming what Bill Gates is today. The Gates Foundation does wonderful work all over the world.
But I agree in general with Facebook, I feel my IQ being dragged down as I read it. I've been on it maybe 3 times since September, and I'm starting to get a bunch of those annoying emails again. Each time I block and unsubscribe, but I get daily emails about other peoples random postings.
For additional listening on this topic, which I found very interesting:
The
Nerdist Podcast (hosted by Chris Hardwick) interviewed Bill Gates about the foundations work. It is a 60-90 minute interview that was very enlightening. He even got to ask him about the famous "64k of RAM should be enough for anybody" quote.
RadioLab did a really good analysis on some of Facebooks more (in)famous social engineering projects. It was a very good listen and explained a lot of the background stuff you didn't hear in the main stream media.
