You are absolutely right. There are so many free resources online for information and learning. I use it as a daily tool/resource for learning about an array of subjects. I feel like most people still don’t realize the FULL potential and wealth of information available online. I think with the youngest generations this will become common place however. Seeing my parents/grandparents reach for a hard copy of the yellow pages makes me cringe…haha!
