How can I get the full benefits of what the internet has to offer?

[Everyones Entitled To My Opinion]

Nowadays, I find myself spending too often on sites that aren't worth the time i.e. myspace, facebook,twitter.
The internet was not made for merely social web surfing.
What are some interesting sites that will benefit my mind and education other than waste away my time?
I do use lifehacker =]
