Yes. Expand your mind and don't forget the basics.
I agree, Internet is a great resource, but:

1. Internet is not on the same level as water and food. Without water and food, you die. It is easy for us on Steemit to forget how many people don't have access to human rights of which we easily wave off as 'of course' without realizing that we are not even close to providing these human rights to the whole world. Real-life-or-dead rights. We've lived thousands of years without internet, we'll survive (we won't evolve as quickly, but we'll survive), tell me how much time you survive about food and water.
2. The reason Steemit exists is the need for paying those who create good content directly. But the average person consumes much more than they produce. You have the knowledge to your disposal, if you know how to use it correctly. But if we don't educate, we get a world of consumers of content. Internet is more than Facebook, cat videos and HD pr0n, but in 70% of the world, your country has Facebook is one of the top 10 (if not no. 1) websites, and has at least 3 (if not more) pr0n sites in the top 50 websites visited. So yeah, there is more to Internet than that. But, if we don't educate, a very large of the world will miss all the great opportunities of the Internet, just like we have been doing for the past 20+ years. I can expand my mind (which is educating), but I won't ignore reality.

For my work I'm on the pro online/social media side every day, was fun looking at it from another perspective for once ;)
