50 things that are being killed by the internet
The internet has wrought huge changes on our lives – both positive and negative – in the fifteen years since its use became widespread. Tasks that once took days can be completed in seconds, while traditions and skills that emerged over centuries have been made all but redundant.
...Click the link above to read the list, it is an interesting read. It is surprising how things have moved on in the last 15 years. Some things will make you smile and many things we now take for granted. We have all evolved but can still laugh at how some people use the technology. My favourite to poke fun at is Sat Nav, how some people feel naked and lost without it! Some people cannot read a map, know which way they are going or follow signposts! I thought that finding your way around was all part of becoming an adult.
My favourite positive aspect is the quickness at finding answers to questions using search engines and the online news services. Knowledge at my fingertips is a joy to be able to use. No more ploughing through reference books or waiting for the newsagents to open.
