There's some truth in what you're saying but I've got to disagree. Right now there's a kid in a Lagos or Harare slum who will find the cure for cancer. This boy or girls parents will spend their life savings on a Chromebook for this child who will trek to an Internet connection in a library (or a McDonalds like in present day Detroit) and they will acquire a high school education and with that credential be accepted into a top university. It may not prove to be the best choice for some but for many kids in the third world it's that or nothing.
