Since the use of the Internet became widespread, there were major changes in our lives, some positive, some negative.
Tasks that required days to be made today are performed in minutes, while traditions and skills that emerged and grew over the centuries, today there are redundancies.
See below a list of 20 things, habits and social attitudes, the internet has destroyed or is destroying:
The art of disagreeing politely
The internet took the tone of discussions at the level of the 5th basement. Intolerance and lack of education reigns absolute mainly in the comments of blogs. Nowadays it is normal to disagree with anything not with arguments, but with: "fuck off", "you're a bastard" or "this site sucks"
Respect for the dead
Twitter has become an open forum for jokes about the death of famous people. 99.9% in very bad taste.
Teenagers eager for their first Playboy
In my day, a boy of 13, 14 years who owned a magazine Playboy was considered almost a god by friends. Today the ubiquity of free porn on the internet and heavy ended one of the most important rites of passage for adolescent boys: buying dirty magazines. Why tremble at the newsstand to buy Playboy if you can download mountains of obscenities right in your room?
Record stores
In a world where people are not willing to pay for music, charging them $ 30 for 12 songs in a flimsy plastic box, definitely not a good business model. But also lost the opportunity to dig his fingers, piles of CDs and records and find the times, true gems and also the opportunity to flirt and make new friends.
Listening to an album from start to finish
The mp3 is one of the benefits of the internet. On the one hand, no longer need endure eight songs boring to hear one or two that are worth. But on the other hand, albums that really are worth the audience will not they deserve.
Write letters
E-mail is fast, cheap and convenient. Receiving a handwritten letter from a friend became a rare treat, and even nostalgic. As a consequence, farewell phrases like "With best wishes" or "Best regards" were replaced by a simple and stupid "Thanks."
Punctuality
In the pre-internet and pre-cell phone, people needed to keep their commitments and reach the agreed place at the right time. Send text messages five minutes after the appointment to warn friends of the delay became one of the coarseness of the common era of connectivity.
Lists phone
You can find anything you want on the Internet, with more complete data than the old and moldy Yellow Pages. But what do you do when you get disconnected?
Memory
When almost any fact, no matter how dark and mysterious, can be scrutinized in seconds via Google or Wikipedia, the "mere" storage and retrieval of knowledge in his mind became less valued.
Concentration
Who among Gmail, Twitter, Facebook and Google News, can work? A new trend of concentration disorder that develops.
Decorating phone numbers
After typing the numbers in your phone book, you'll never look at them again. Do you remember the head phones of your family?
Conspiracy theories
The internet is constantly dismissed as dominated by eccentric people, but over the years, proved to be much more prone to discredit conspiracy theories rather than perpetuate them.
Fill out forms on the last page of books
The closest thing today is the services of online booksellers like "Customers who bought this book also bought ..."
Photo albums and slide projections
Facebook, Flickr and printing sites like Snapfish photos are the new way in which we share our photos. Earlier this year, Kodak announced it was discontinuing production of their classic Kodachrome film for lack of demand.
Depend on travel agents to mark holidays
To embark on a vacation, we no longer need to pass mandatory travel agent, who repeatedly tries to sell that package "must see". Specialized websites assemble the dream trip possible within budget.
Wristwatches
Fooling around in the pocket for your cell phone may not be as elegant as looking at a wristwatch, but it is more economical and practical than walking around with two devices.
Artists undiscovered
Putting his paintings or poems online is so easy, that unknown artists have no excuse.
Killing time
When was the last time you spent a whole hour looking at the world through the window, "thinking of the death of the heifer"? Or just sitting doing nothing? The lure of the internet on our attention is relentless and increasingly hard to resist.
Watching television together
The internet allows family and friends to watch the same programs at different times and in different places, ending with the meaning that it was one of the most attractive cultural appeals middle class, the shared experience. Programs to watch television together, if they exist, are limited to sporting events and reality shows.
The lunch break
You leave your computer for lunch? Or eat a sandwich while answering personal emails, post on Twitter and on Facebook chat?
