I found this article to be extremely interesting. As a student and a person who uses the internet often, information is readily available at my fingertips. At any moment of the day when I am near a computer, I can look up absolutely anything I want. For example, in my Magazine Management class I was able to learn about saving money on magazine subscriptions through alternate outlets. I used the Google search engine to explore websites.
Although I understand the thinking behind the professors ideas, there is plenty to be learned from the internet. We have moved into a new age. With everything good comes something bad. For example, one may use the internet to look for frivolous information, or use it to gather a new perspective on old ideas. For myself it has helped me grow intellectually, and also entertained me. I look at youtube all the time to watch something vital I've missed or just for laughs.
One should not limit themselves to one form of education, but explore different sides as well. In keeping with the old there is room for the new too.
