1.阅读理解
Sometimes a book comes along that isn't just“interesting'”or“well done'”一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 point.It'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.
