> talking about a simple voice chat app
Says someone who has never tried running a voice chat app at scale. It's not a flying car or a spaceship, but it's technically difficult.

I never said it wasn't technically difficult to do something like that at scale. Although, from what I have heard, they actually have outsourced most of the technical parts of the app, to some other company also.
The point though, is that you should not pretend like this is some revolutionary new thing, that is going to change all of society.
Thats all. Its a voice chat app. No need to ascribe anything magic to it.

Ok great, so you agree with me that the person I was responding too was being kinda silly, by describing a voice chat app, in magic, grandiose terms.
They have changed society.
Something can be both simple and revolutionary.
I think most of us would agree that they've changed society for the worse. It pains me as a starry-eyed techie kid from the 90s that this is what we've done. Life was so much better before social media.
But yes, they've dramatically changed society.
I agree with this but I didn’t want to presume it, since there are positives too.
