I would argue that the internet nowadays feels very one-directional. You intake information but individuals rarely have influence over the future direction of that information. It's more of a lecture than a dialogue. Of corse, many internet forums like HN or Twitter serve as counter examples but the vast majority of content like blogs are like that. I think the main value I see in grad school is the community of learners rather than the actual knowledge imparted itself.
