There are online communities for all kinds of addictive activities. They offer perfect validation, and it's easy to lose track of how little you're actually doing in the real world or how few people you're interacting with face-to-face. Some people stop trying to meet others locally once they find their intellectual and emotional peers online. This can go on for years, and it's not something I'd recommend.I interpreted this piece as focusing on how information is being made more accessible. People are taking complex textbooks and university-level knowledge and turning them into understandable tutorials and examples. Anyone who can break down and share complicated information has a valuable skill that really helps others.
