I think what I've always loved about the Internet (been here
  since 1989) is the amazing access available, of information and
  misinformation alike. It lacks the rigor and quality control
  available in academic learning and that is definitely a drawback
  of the flood of potential information. Biases can be reinforced
  on the Internet, rather than conquered. Opinions pretending to
  be facts spread on a monumentally fast rate, destroying good
  knowledge in the process. That being said, I couldn't go back to
  a time before. I always enjoyed learning, although not as much
  the school environment, and the public library was my
  pre-Internet Internet in the 1980s. Yet, even with all of the
  drawbacks, I prefer this. It's up to each other to try to
  reinforce good knowledge against the tide of misinformation that
  flows and with that mindset, the Internet can be a strong
  companion to school and for many an alternative, if approached
  with a mindset that is curious and skeptical simultaneously.
