You're living in a consumer bubble.

When I referenced "changing the world" I meant grand social problems and solutions that effect almost every human. Not a bunch of spoiled tech/gadget obsessed "Haves".

Ask the kids in Ghana how the iTunes Music Store has effected their lives.

"I honestly don't know what else you could expect from any other company of any size or business model."

We should all expect more from ourselves than simply overpriced/shiny electronics.

I admit I'm a very pro-capitalism type of guy and I indulge in many excesses that I should not take for granted, and yet do.

But I absolutely refuse to feel anything but joy and elation when I consider the miraculous tools I have available to me that allow me to complete works undreamed of by any generations previous.

It may naive, but I have to believe that if we are to care for the children of Ghana, we have to make more of ourselves, not less. To put it another way, would I know anything of Ghana's plight were it not for my shiny electronic computer and its connection to the miraculous interconnected network of shiny electronics?
