Something to be used for

People of all ages ask me if there is something that can be done for them. They hark back to how things used to be.

各个年龄段的人都问我有什么办法可以有效地帮助他们，并且总是重复说他们原来如何如何。

It also activates the millions of people out there who know how to make web pages, and never thought their skill set could be used for something else.

它也可以让那上百万会做网页的人参与到应用程序开发中，这些人从没想过他们的技术可以应用在其他方面。

From a public health perspective, however, we do not want to pay for something that does not work when the money could be used for something that does work.

然而，从公共卫生角度而言，如果可以将资金用到确实产生疗效的办法上，我们就不会为没有疗效的办法买单。
