I dont think so. The time you spent off internet feeds, educates and prepares you for tomorrow. Im sure 10 minutes off you phone will make a C student an A

wait. how does it know you're not using your phone?

also why do they want people to go 10 minutes (which is a pathetic amount of time) without touching their phone to provide water? why don't they just provide what water they can regardless?

if they just went "hey we got like $200 000 saved up now we're gonna spend it on water for africans!" nobody would really give a shit. so they do these gimmicks to make people feel better about themselves and raise popularity. people go to bed thinking "i helped africans today, and unicef helped me help africans".

it doesn't at all. you can still tap it all you want, it just measures balance. as long as its flat you can do whatever.

the concept is really fucking dumb, giving water to people who need it is great, but pretty fucking stupid idea.
