A humanitarian project is distributing free internet to the whole world.
What is the point of spending giving people computers and internets when they are starving and living in shacks? I think William Kamkwamba's put it nicely: "I Googled windmill [and] I found there was millions of applications! I said, Where was this Google all this time?!"
The collaborative idea-sharing ability of the internet is just as capable of revolutionizing the way villagers grow rice as philosophizing about Glee(TM).
Well said! I never thought of it that way before. The internet is a force multiplier. It's a gateway to greater knowledge and a better life.
