This is likely true. However, using the Internet isn't a profession. It is a globally-scaled phenomenon that is essentially 'the future'. Anyone can learn how to use it and become an 'expert' for basically no cost and little time. People get made fun of not necessarily for being dunces, but for not choosing to embrace and learn about a technology that is already a huge part of their lives.

Using the human body isn't a profession either. But it's likely that you and I are significantly more ignorant than a doctor regarding its inner workings despite using our bodies every day.

Of course. But my point wasn't that 'things that aren't professions are easy to learn about', it was that 'using the Internet IS easy to learn, and requires few resources.' The fact that using the human body isn't a profession is completely irrelevant; doctors spend years studying how our bodies work, while all I do is some occasional research to learn more about it. Of course they know more than me, because they spent lots of time and money on it.
