>> Having access to information benefits individuals and society as a whole. I'd rather focus on how to utilize this access to internet and create things which are valuable for others to consume locally or globally.
How does a poor person in a rural area REALLY improve their life by just having a cheap android phone and access to the internet?
>> Internet connects people. Almost everything that you do in person can be done via internet. Rather than only being a clueless consumer of the internet, people can learn skills that matter to them. This age is of Knowledge and skills that can create things, solve problems. Sell things on internet. Write book and tell the world. Develop softwares for yourself and others. Earn a living. Help people.

As the OP pointed out, most African villagers can barely read, let alone write books or even software.
If you can identify you're writing insecure code or building insecure apps you are just being lazy to do it proper way. Web security IMO isn't about learning a new thing, these are concepts that are part of the development flow.
Thanks for the resources. Not sure if calling me lazy is fair, I don't know what I don't know, but I'm almost certain my code isn't 100% bulletproof. Not because I see something blatantly broken and just decide not to fix it.
