Disadvantages:
- Over dependence on the internet makes students inactive, as they won’t have to work out any tasks or question, because they find it easier going on the internet to search for the answer.
- You can’t always get good publications of work, and if people look at these, they will not know.

This is not very helpful for students/researchers who just want to find out a bit of information on, and are not willing to pay much for it.
