I wont defend this idea any more though cos i dont wanna argue this point
I was just reading about the reason why Trevor Bayliss invented the clockwork radio, was to help provide information to remote people for whom a radio was the only way they could get it - specifically to help combat AIDS.

So while food, healthcare, clean water, etc are necessary, technology can help also, especially with information & education - i.e. ideally, imo it would be nice to do both.
