50 things that we have lost in the Internet age

[gans]

"50 things that killed the Internet" - the so-called article in the newspaper «The Daily Telegraph», struck the British audience - several hundred comments and letters to one article.

Indeed, our life with the advent of the Internet and digital technology has changed, probably for the better: it is more convenient to buy online retailers, it is convenient to have at hand all useful information, it is important to be able to quickly transfer data, and instantly learn about the news. However, not all changes are related to us with the acquisition, many related to losses, perhaps that is why the British publication has caused such a response. We do not notice these changes and losses, up until not look back on 10 years ago.

In the Internet age, we have lost:

1) The art of polite disagreement
In a network many materials about how to politely and tactfully discuss, however the increase of sites for the discussion leads to the general tone of aggravation. The desire to expose and denounce an opponent than any known rules.

2) plays CDs and the entire album
The online world - is the realm of the fragment: one video from YouTube, one song, one fragment of the film. Starting to hear the song of one artist, we immediately switched to another.

3) Punctuality
Before the advent of mobile phones had to be punctual. Today, a meeting can be delayed, deferred, or indeed to cancel at the last moment. Cost era.

4) Paper phone directories
Why should they, if all the contact information posted on the site - within a few clicks away?

5) Watches
Get mobile phone each time is not very convenient, but more and more functions, it combines in itself - get savings of electronic devices.

6) Paper letters
If you are not in a special club, where members write letters to each other, then when you last received a paper letter from a friend? In the last century?

7) Memory
Why keep it in something, if "everything there is through the Yandex"?

8) The results of sports games on the next day
When the last time you bought a newspaper to find out who won the championship that important? Certainly, as soon as the news on the Internet all the visitors, had not the match is over.

9) Memorizing phone numbers
we should remember the tens, we knew some of the techniques for rapid memorization now - drove to the contact list the phone and remember nothing. Until you lose your phone or SIM card is demagnetized. But who among us thought about it? And those who think time synchronize your phone and computer.

10) Respect for doctors and other professionals
Read all articles in all the sites and communities, having studied for blogs all the information about the clinic or hospital, we come to the doctor, with full responsibility to tell him about my diagnosis and treatment methods. He will only agree, do we listen to his opinion?

11) Respect for the historians and researchers
Any historian, we are ready to plug his belt, if at hand is Wikipedia.

12) Respect for the priests
Authority of the priest for an experienced Internet users - do not always have the authority, armed with the Orthodox search engine, you can quickly explain to any priest, how much he was mistaken, wrong and wrong to preach.

13) Knowledge of geography
GPS and Internet maps completely liberated us from having to memorize the streets, roads, routes until there is electricity, and they work - hard to get lost.

14) Privacy
Our mail is read. Let the robot, deciding which ads to put on our best options, but at what point the robot will cease to be a robot, we hardly know.

15) Solitude
Try unplugging your mobile phone and the Internet and spend two or three days with his family. Turn on your phone and your computer back, you'll see that you have almost from the police wanted.

16) The concentration of
How many minutes in a row you can work without being distracted by social networks, email, LJ, tape, or news?

17) The manual pages in paper diaries
measure the lengths and weights, the difference in time and Codes - probably, if we do and look at these pages, then only if absolutely nothing has really read.

18) Lunch
Normal lunch. No snacking in a hurry for work computers during rest and view the non-working sites.

19) Free evening
It was a long time - have dinner, go for a walk, lying down with a book. We urgently need to finish one thing and another, and fatigue as if no hours to two nights, it feels when you sit down to work with documents or books, or monitor included-mail creates the illusion of a second wind. Why is an illusion - that we feel in the morning.

20) A few hours of sleep
The same that we have a day spent on the Internet and reading all fights in a row without distinction.

21) Ability to work with a paper book
However, when you read the book lacks hyperlinks, and most importantly - find a book?

22) Reading serious literature
Spend a day at the historic or the Orthodox Forum, rushing into each other turn up with quotations from the network - not the same thing that thoughtfully read a serious book on relevant topics. And the illusion is created simply.

23) Feelings
As the first months of work on the Internet, each message of a sick or abandoned child occupied the mind, thoughts and feelings. And then immunity and only the most indifferent and honest articles about the squandering not help thinking that all will not help. Previously, it was enough just the facts, today, to encourage people to donate blood or to raise money, you need to make all the journalistic skills.

24) help
Helps still few. Infrequently. But my conscience can be so easily calmed, simply a rehash of the message and adding the three exclamation marks. Information support - a thing, of course, important, but if everyone will be limited to reprints, who will help?

25) Responsibility
How simply move their duties in favor of virtual challenges - in the process of cooking dinner, go read the forum, instead of activities with children to sit on YouTube, instead of helping his wife at home, pretending that terribly busy with work. On the other hand, the responsibility of the network we have no more - promised to help someone, and you can break a promise.

26) Patience
This letter had been written a long and thoughtful, sometimes several days, then waited for a response several weeks. Today, easy swing of his fingers, and all those words that we have a spare half an hour taken to the kibeprostranstvo speed Internet channel.

27) Peace
The clear advantage of a mobile phone that you can always call a friend, child, and check. Everything was in order. Previously, for example, late child from school, my mother crazy with where to search, where to run. But the problem is solved only in part - as often happened, that for the hundredth time you dial a number to hear: "The subscriber is temporarily unavailable" "the subscriber device is turned off. What is better - do not know anything at all, or hear such an automated response?

28) The oral transmission of experience
When we need a recipe for a festive meal or washing machine broke down, we turn for advice to the older generation, or dial the desired query on the Internet?

While all this. In most settlements, of course, plus at times, a hundred times more than the minuses. But a lost, too, must remember. 50 points did not work and not accidental. The list is opened, the following items can add and add.

For all the benefits provided by modern technologies, the population of developed countries are paying zdorovem.V upright in motion, people are less and less. Son, crossings in the car, sitting in an armchair on wheels in front of consoles in the workplace, the monitor in the office and at home, television, cinema houses.
Lack of natural exercise, skeletal deformities, and as a result - displacement of internal organs, the violation of the circulation of blood and fluids in the body. The result - obesity, internal intoxication due to the accumulation of waste substances at the cellular level and the catastrophic rise in illnesses associated with congestion in the body . At the same classes in gyms is not saved. First, not all can afford (especially ours). And there is no natural loading, and require special dosing and clinical kontrolya.A is yet further rashody.U us all that do not pay attention since no health insurance. But, say some are cursed the United States, these trends are already accounted for., including the development of health programs proposed by Obama, as well as trade unions - in signing labor contracts and insurance.

Paradoxically, some of which have returned from the time of Pushkin - little notes! At this forum, we write "little notes", which instruct to deliver the "servant", ie Internet robot. We look forward otvet.Vozmozhno, we will deliver it. Or should we say: "no answer". Or even that beautiful, "ordered such and such do not take!" (Banned !)... Like! As a courtesy ... have to refer to Socrates: "... if I kick ass, am I going to sue?"
