the internet has A LOT of information that one can learn about. The more a person spends time on the internet/a computer doing (hopefully) useful things the more the person will learn about our world. Today high schoolers know little to nothing outside what they learn in high school, and that's really sad.
There isn't much "work" to do? Haha. The "work" one does for our educational system is dumb. It's vocational preparation, that's all. Nothing really persuades the average high school student to actually think, to actually know. That's where the internet comes in, it can be a replacement to the lack of intellectual pursuits of high school.
I guess older generations have a hard time understanding the internet itself because it is so new to them.

I believe access to a family computer should suffice. What is most convenient, however, is a different story.... |
