But, often you’d wonder something and there wouldn’t be someone around who you could ask.

More importantly, some people had questions they were too scared or embarrassed to ask and can now ask the internet, like "why do I like boys when I'm a boy?"

I am from a pre-internet era and I would say that for that reason alone, I'm glad we have the internet to answer questions for kids.
