    Like most tools, the Internet can be used for good or evil.

    It is what people make of it.

    I have no idea where I would be in live without the Internet. In the past, when I suffered from debilitating social anxiety, the Internet was the only way for me to get consistent socialization experience in comfortable setting - which, in combination with all the self-help material, eventually allowed me to break out of my shell and become the social butterfly and the leader that I am now. In addition, I do not learn well in the classroom setting: I need a lot of materials in front of me and a quiet room to really get something - and the Internet with gazillions of materials on any topic and countless discussions on Quora, StackExchange, reddit, StackOverflow, et cetera, is a perfect manifestation of that. Heck, even leaving Russia was only possible because I could connect with the people interested in working with me here in the US through the Internet; I would have had no idea how to even start approaching immigration otherwise.

    The Internet allows you to connect with people you otherwise would never meet, find knowledge that otherwise you would not even know to look for, and get tons of practice questions, Youtube videos and even courses absolutely for free. The Internet is the modern mega-university, mega-therapy center, mega-playground, mega-laboratory, mega-job market, mega-mall, mega-everything.

    And all of that is supposed to be outweighed by some trolls and propagandists? Come on. ;)

    The internet is a tool.  It can be used beneficially or harmfully.
