Wrong.

The Internet today is not the same as the one you grew up in.

If what you seek is virtue, you will find virtue. If what you seek is vice, you will find vice.

If what you wanted is learning you could find everything you wanted to learn. But if you have problems the Internet can make them much worse.

And the Internet of today is much less forgiving. There is no real anonimity now.

Why? Are there other human societies that have had internet and smartphones for two thousand years before it reached us?
