The positive features of the internet with learning are you learn by teaching yourself and it is a skill that is always improving. You have to play around with the internet and see what works and what doesn't. It takes time, but eventually you'll find short cuts and new technique's. You will always learn something new about the internet. Even the smartest of people have not completely mastered the internet. The internet is constantly growing and developing. You can learn a lot from the internet, there is information everywhere.
The negative features are obtaining false information and there is only one approach. For example: if you are trying to look up information on a topic and come across the website wikipedia.com, know that not al their information is accurate. In wikipedia people can change the information. It is meant for people to add their knowledge on a topic, but some people add false information to site. Wikipedia will change it back once it finds the false information, but there are a lot people changing the information so it is hard for them to keep up with everyone. Bottom line don't trust what you read from the internet unless it is a reliable source. There is also usually one approach to working the internet. You might be able to find a way around something, but it usually more complicated.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "there is only one approach." How does a person actually determine a "reliable source" from one that is not? After all, even the smartest people seem susceptible to incorrect information.
