The net is a wonderful source information no doubt about it .
But nothing will ever replace hands on experience and that experience is only accessible once you have a grasp of the basic concepts of cooking .
You need to know about the difference between flours , powders, sugars , how to use eggs ,oils , meat cuts .....it goes on and on
What happens and how we change ingredients when we mix them with other and dry ingredients .
You need to know the feel and by feel , the taste and by taste , you need to train your practical senses , you cannot get this from the net .
When you have an understanding of the basic concepts of cooking then the net can be a handy tool.
In my classes I always get the class to share what they have just made and it amazes the group how flavour and texture varies when we have all followed the same recipe .
This happens because of the execution of the recipe for example .... time creaming , folding , blending etc.
The net cannot teach you how to be a cook , but it can teach you how to be a better cook but so can further reading , once you have mastered the basics .
Don`t confuse technology with knowledge .
