Earlier this week, Bill Gates gave us his thoughts of which type of aid is more important. Full article through this link: http://venturebeat.com/2013/11/03/bill-gates-internet-connectivity-doesnt-mean-much-of-youre-dying-of-starvation/
For the most part, I agree with Gates completely. I think that there should be a balance between the two. One of the biggest problems in places like Africa, is the lack of education in those areas. So even though I don't believe we should go heading towards the idea of providing every child in Africa a computer and internet access, something like a community internet hub would be a tremendous solution. So overall, when giving aid, there has to be a balance between the the most basic necessity of life and a relatively new human right.
