also, there is a distinct difference between food supply, in which millions starve because food is not transported to their area, not so much because food isn't available in the world. there is a shortage of food in many localities, which drives up the price, and causes people to starve. there is more than enough food in the world, and the problem is transportation; and the cost of transportation to get enough food to these places is enormous compared to the utility you get per unit food -- starvation occurs unless you continuously transport.
with computers, it's a one-time cost. you transport a computer and a huge benefit is reaped for a long, long time. thus, computers should never go to waste.
