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 difTerent. 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. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一本名叫《被网络夺走的100种事物》的 好书。 1.What is the purpose of the text?
