I think it can be beneficial to people, yet hinder them as well.
For example, due to debilitating depression during my later years of high school, I flunked and never had the oppurtunity to go to University. I wanted to study Literature and history. The internet made it very easy to access the world of literature through sites such as amazon.com, wikipedia, etc. Sure, I could have gone to the library and enquired about these things. In the end though the internet is far easier to use to find this sort of information. So I can still satisfy my curiousity of these subjects until I am able to study them at a later date.
On the other hand, my old boss was an overweight, grumpy piece of shit. He would play World of Warcraft 50+ hrs a week. To me, that is the shitty side of the internet: The addiction to games which adds little, if nothing to a persons life.
