With that same argumentation, it can be argued that moving food from rural areas into cities is doing something for the benefit of people living in cities, not society as a whole.
Also, internet and such for rural people benefits society as a whole, indirectly. For example, better crop yields (Through better access to information) and such.
So, I think your argument is deeply flawed.
