Knowledge is everything now. In the past, you needed formal schooling to get ahead. Success secrets were hidden from most, but now info is everywhere online. The internet levels the playing field anyone can learn what they need without stepping into a classroom.

Totally agree! I picked up so many trading skills online, never thought it was possible. Back then, we felt so restricted. Now, there are tons of resources if you're willing to learn. The internet has really broadened our horizons.

School is basically training. You can still get schooled online, like learning to be an influencer through courses. The internet hasn’t replaced education, it’s just made it available in different formats. Keep learning and your skills will grow.

The internet is a goldmine of info. You can find anything you need. With AI now, learning has become even easier. I sometimes use AI instead of tutors. And those who know how to use the internet right can definitely make money.

School used to be the only way to learn, and diplomas were proof. Now, people can earn more without traditional schooling. If you ignore online opportunities, you're just holding yourself back. It’s a new world out there.

I’m not convinced the internet can teach basic skills like reading and writing without prior knowledge. Info quality matters. Just because something's on the web doesn’t mean it's true. I've seen so much misinformation out there.

Today's kids are smarter than we were. They can access so much online, and finding jobs is easier if you have skills. But school still matters a lot. It’s not just about learning; it’s also about socializing and discipline.

I remember library days, struggling to find books. Now we have everything at our fingertips! Google and Wikipedia changed the game. With AI, info is even more accessible. It’s wild how far we’ve come.

The internet unlocked doors for so many. With dedication and a computer, anyone can be financially independent now. It’s not about being rich, it’s about freedom and doing what you love.

+1 to that! The internet is creating endless opportunities. Kids today can learn real digital skills. Online courses have made education more flexible. But saying we don’t need schools anymore is just silly.

Yeah, the internet is full of opportunities. But it also has its downsides. Misinformation spreads like wildfire. Young people can get sidetracked chasing quick cash instead of focusing on real skills.

True, back then jobs were manual and required physical presence. Today, you can work remotely. Knowledge is key, but success is about action. Selling yourself is key in this digital age.

It’s all about how we use the internet. It can be a massive educational tool, but we have to be smart about it. If you’re not careful, it can become a waste of time.

No excuses anymore for not learning! The internet offers informal education, while schools provide formal education. If you’re committed, you can learn anything online and apply it in real life.

I see it differently now. The internet hasn’t replaced education; it just showed how much traditional education was about credentials. A lot of ‘knowledge work’ was just who you knew or what you had on paper.

Internet access is great, but it doesn’t create equal opportunities. A kid in a developing country might learn graphic design online, but can they compete with someone who's got a degree and experience?

The internet is a blessing and a curse. Tons of info is available, but it’s easy to misuse it. The key is using it wisely to improve ourselves, not just scrolling mindlessly.

For those who couldn’t afford school, online resources are a big deal. You don’t even need a diploma for many jobs anymore. But let's be real most internet content is junk, so be selective.

Schooling is like a workout for life. The internet opens up skill learning, like how some people became influencers through online classes. It makes learning easier but doesn’t fully solve the education gap.

The internet has become the biggest learning platform. You can learn so much online, even attend university programs remotely. There’s a saying that YouTube is the university of everything it’s so true!
