Is it really a disaster? They cancelled a thing that most people probably didn't even know existed until yesterday. In that sense, it is like Google.
The kids would probably be more successful in figuring out innovative usages for the product.

Don’t hold your breath. Unsubstantiated nudge-wink claims like this are the province of high school kids and blowhards.
My statement is most certainly factual. Don't assert what you don't know.
