The internet is just a tool, nothing more. People are going to use it to do great things. Others are going to use it for stupidity.

You can go to a library and read Aristotle or Tolstoy, or you can read the latest romance novel or surf porn on one of the library computers.

Some use the internet to do amazing things, to come together and create, invent, and help society progress. Others play Farmville all day.

Like anything else, what you put in is what you get out.
