The amount of visual information we're collecting nowadays is vast, and I think the idea that it's cute but that it's value ends at individual nostalgia might be shorting it's potential quite a bit.
Further, I'd love to see sharing of medical information get easier, in fact that's literally what I do at the startup I work for... but a big part of what makes what we build possible is the enormous amount of technology in the form of other people's ideas and software (most of it open-source). Loads of that tech came from people working at shops taking shots at problems you might consider first-world.
Yeah, it'd be neat if more people were geeked about working in healthcare. (I'd sure love it if we could find it easier to hire!) But to suggest that everyone else is wasting their time is ridiculous.
