Actually this is a bad idea if you want to improve your ideas. The internet is not the problem, the problem is how you use the internet.

You can use the internet to learn about 3rd world problems and expose yourself to different cultures and issues. What you will learn is the developing world major problems are not access to education, technology and infrastructure, access will come with appropriate use of funds. Corruption, mismanagement and large criminal organizations are major problems, they lead to a major misappropriation of funds. Every country has corrupt politician and criminals, some more than others, but when you're in a developing country the effects are really devastating.

And if you want to figure out ways to solve worthwhile first world problems you can use the internet to find people who are working on those things. There are plenty of people doing that.
