What are the benefits of online discussions for learning and communication?

hi! i have not read that this forum says to introduce oneself when posted a while ago, I just hastily posted my question. I'm sorry .
Anyway, I'm Xyla. I'm a college student who is fond of learning from the net and sometimes find these discussions (in the net) more sensible than conversing face to face.
