Its a Hobby and I understand that you may not see the appeal. Radio Amateurs have made a considerable contribution some of the gadgets you use today... Your mobile phone is an example.

Oh, and what about when your phone and internet no longer work, terrorist attack on WTC for example

But you have every right not to see the appeal...In the same way I dont see sitting in the cold looking at a fishing rod as fun... Is fishing for people that dont have supermarkets
