Interesting Point of View...
Sure, feed these kids first. Aren't other organizations already working that, though? What's wrong with wanting to bring the technology which might make it possible for these folks to one day *feed themselves* while we're at it?
It's not just about "access to their hotmail account".

"Feed a man a fish, you feed him for one day. Teach him how to fish, and you have fed him for a lifetime."

The gap between the haves and the have-nots exists not just in the cupboard - it is more generalized than that. Knowledge (and the tools to acquire knowledge) is power to combat this inequity. There's no telling where this might go.

You do what you want with your dollars - I'll support this initiative with mine.
