Myth: With the help of the Internet and the stuff being posted on it we are able to self learn a lot of different things whether it be languages, sports or other crafts and doings. 
Reality: Depends! There are some things you can learn by yourself for which our attention and patience are enough (languages, hobbies & etc). On the other hand, there’s some things that cannot be self taught (sports, crafts & etc.) and for which we need guidance of a teacher, coach or mentor of any sort. 
Myth: Everyone who has access to the Internet can become an influencer or social media star.
Reality: False! As we all know, everyone has access to the huge Internet space and its different sites and social medias. Similar to becoming famous outside of the digital sphere you must be charismatic, likeable and hardworking. Gaining followers on social media and having people interested in your content requires consistency, passion and time invested into your works and of course, not everyone is capable of that. 
Myth: The advertisements we get on sites are related to our searches and interests on the Internet.
Reality: Correct! The advertisements (also known as ads) we see all over the Internet are specifically filtered for us and the stuff we follow and show interest in. All of this is possible with the help of “cookies” that collect our data and show us ads that have the highest chance to be noticed by us. This is the reason why sometimes certain websites won’t allow us to continue if we don’t allow cookies.
