(18,628 posts)It can be educational, I've learned alot of different things: both totally new, and more information on subjects I already have I have interests in. Often way easier access wise than the library (which I still love, since I love books).
For instance, I learned a lot on how to crochet through drawings, photos, and videos.
It brings people together from many different US States, and people from other Countries through shared interests on Websites.
And like you see here at DU (and often other well used sites) we learn different things about where we live, what we do etc beyond the interests that brought us together.
It can be alot of fun learning new things, meeting new people. Also looking at things/sites that you find fun, or funny.
You can look up photographs on practicaly any place, or anything with almost the snap of a finger!
All this and more.
I say there's been, and is more good than bad in the almost 30 years I've been on line.
