We got promised over and over again how the answer to all our problems was in technology but when it comes to the poor in the world

We can NOT seem to feed them....
or give them clean sanitation..
or give them books so children can learn to read....
or even a tent to keep the rain off their heads.

At least an edible Iphone would be a meal. Ok an expensive meal but at least it would be something. For me it has been almost 50 years of hearing the same promises over and over again that technology is the solution to all the world's problems. So I want to know when is this junk going to start delivering on all those promises?

((( GFY is obviously the source of the greatest assembled minds in the world so I am hoping they can respond to my question)))
