Sometimes a book comes along that isn't just "interesting"or "well done"-it's a
book where it seems like the author looked into your brain and wrote a book specifically
for you.A book like that for me was released last week.It's called 100 Things We've Lost
to the Internet,written by editor Pamela Paul.
Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over
completely:writing letters,printing newspapers,the joys of being bored,and not having
all the knowledge in the world in your pocket.
As I often accumulate random knowledge,certain entries on the list-Being the
Only One,Figuring Out Who That Actor Is hit me where I live;remembering
detailed facts is no longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to find
the answer in seconds.
On and on the list goes,with every minor shift adding to the pile.What this book
does so well is illustrate the growth of that pile;while any individual item might be no big
deal,the collected set is significant.It's a list of ways in which the world now is different
from the world then.
Obviously,Paul isn't saying that everything back then was better.Time marches on,
after all,and it's tough to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought
into our lives.But that isn't really the pointIt's not about whether it used to be better.It's
that it used to be different.
100 Things We've Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of
Paul's memories and experience.We remember what it was like and we like to
remember.The landscape has shifted,and no doubt it will shift again as technology's
advancement continues apace.This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that
when gains are made,sometimes something is lost.
