There are countless reasons why the internet, with its vast amount of knowledge available, is a very helpful tool.

Even if there seems to be no end to the benefits it offers us on a daily basis, its ability to be a never-ending source of shared knowledge may be what makes it the greatest invention of the last few centuries.

There is no topic that you can’t read up on, no answer that’s beyond your reach if you know where to look. Mysteries that would have remained elusive in all the decades up to now can be solved quite literally with a few clicks of a mouse, a few stabs at a keyboard.

Over the years we’ve seen many old myths debunked online, just as we’ve seen life-hacks and helpful hints become common knowledge, whereas once they would have been wisdoms held by only a small few.

For instance, have you ever pondered why your underwear sometimes appears to have bleach stains on it? If so, you’re not alone, it seems, as ladies looking for solutions have asked the same question online.
