In my point of view, I think it is the governments' obligation to make their people live better life instead of suffering. If the people of the nation still suffer starvation and coldness, why governments should put money on developing computer technology? However, if some countries have great power like The United States, why can not it develop the high-technology? So I think it all depends on the situation of the nation. Let me put it with more detail.
To begin with, there is no doubt that the most basic needs of people are that there are bread to eat when they are hungry and clothes when they feel cold. For example, in some poor countries in Africa, if the governments put their money on computer technology, people are still in hunger, and then this country will not be stable. Because the computers mean nothing to those poor, they only care about the bread and clothes.
Also, the government must distribute the money rightly; there are some other aspects that need lots of money to promote the situation. For example, the depose of the pollution, I think my nation should put much money in the deposing of the waste, because our environment is worse and worse, I miss the blue sky and lucid river, the sing of the finch and the grove behind my house, but they have gone. In compare with the computer technology, I would rather let the beauty of nature come back.
However, I do not mean that the computer technology is not important. My major is computer science, I know deeply how crucial the computer technology is, and what great change they have taken to our world. We know that the computer technology can propel the development of economic, let more people have the opportunities to work. The whole society will be more stable if most people have work. Furthermore, the development of computer technology represents the power of the nation. Such as the Microsoft Company can promote the reputation of the United States which have numberless information technology company.
In sum, I think the government should take measures to distribute the money well, if the nation has a lot of basic needs, money should be used to solve the most serious problem. However, if you nation have the ability to promote the high technology, the government should not limit the development of the computer technology.
