The promo video published by Google mentions people translate 100 billion words everyday with Google Translate.
According to the video[1] the most translated words in the world are
"Thank you", "How are you" and "I love you"

I get the information benefits, but beyond that?
>> 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.

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.
Good resources to start with:
OWASP Top Ten Project https://goo.gl/yv6D4t
OWASP REST Security Cheat Sheet https://goo.gl/93VPKD
