WhatsApp was acquired for $16-19b IIRC. (Or: "FB bought our contact books for $16-19b.")

I'm not saying that we could solve all of our problems by investing this amount of $$ in graphene, or that "FB sucks, duh", but it's hard to argue that we can maintain this ridiculous waste of resources and human brain power for longer.
