Every time I hear the word "internet", a meme pops into my mind where a grandmother very confidently and not without the help of profanity tries to convey to someone that they don't need the internet at all, or, to be more precise, "don't need it". It's a good illustration of how you can mess up in something you don't understand at all and have no idea what it even is. Hello, by the way, to astrologers — we'll talk about them later. Getting back to the internet, I won't give an hour-long lecture here on why the internet is one of humanity's best inventions, or why it's a heap of new interesting opportunities. I'll venture to suggest that during the internet's existence there have been as many attempts to start a business in it as the whole of humanity had in all previous time. Of course there are plenty of scammers there too, but one way or another, the benefits of the internet are far greater.
Many people understand the word "internet" first and foremost as entertainment, or at least work, but for some reason few remember that the internet is the world's largest library and encyclopedia, where all human knowledge is gathered. And this knowledge is available to everyone, most often completely free. The vast majority of people don't even suspect that learning material is right at their fingertips. Take it and use it! You don't need to go to the library, spend time searching for information that, by the way, might not even be in that library. In a few clicks you can find anything, translate anything, learn anything. But of course people don't value this. Most often they're only willing to read and study what they've paid for. Psychologically they're gnawed at by some course they paid for earlier and haven't used yet. So there's a fairly high probability they'll watch it, so they can rest easy knowing they didn't waste their money. But what lies there for free — only a minority will bother to learn and read that, since there's no psychological pressure attached to free material. People don't value free content; that's just our nature.
