Since the use of the Internet became widespread, caused great changes in our lives, some positive, some negative. Tasks of days needed to be made today are made in seconds.
In a special report published this week, the British newspaper Telegraph has compiled a list of 50 things that are being destroyed by the internet, from products and business models to life experiences and habits. "The list also includes some things that were the influence of other modern media, like cell phones and GPS navigation systems.
See below an adaptation of the 20 things, including social habits and attitudes that are destroying the internet:
1. The habit of politely discuss
Discussions insignificant YouTube beginners may not be representative, but the internet certainly sharpened the tone of the discussions. The world of blogs seems unable to accept differences of opinion.
2. The fear for the death of a celebrity
Twitter became an open forum for jokes about the death of famous people. Some very bad taste, but an antidote to the "mourning" for the fans that otherwise would prevail.
3. Play a disc from start to finish
The singles are one of the benefits of the internet. On the one hand, it is not necessary to wait eight songs to hear one or two worthwhile. But on the other hand, how worthwhile albums have the hearing they deserve?
4. Punctuality
Before cell phones, people needed to keep their commitments and reach the restaurant at the correct time. Send text messages to alert five minutes before the delay friends became one of the grossness of the age of connectivity.
5. Phone List
You can find everything you want on the Internet, with much fuller than the old and mofadas Yellow Pages.
6. Jewels of music
In a world where people are not willing to pay for music, paid for 12 songs in a flimsy plastic box, definitely not a good business model.
7. Memory
When nearly everything is done, no matter what may be dark and mysterious find information in seconds using Google or Wikipedia, storage and retrieval of knowledge in his mind became less valued.
8. Concentration
Who among Gmail, Twitter, Facebook and Google News, get to work? It's a new trend of disturbance that develops concentration.
9. Remember phone numbers
After typing the numbers in the calendar of your mobile, you will never look at them again.
10. Conspiracy Theories
The Internet is constantly repudiated as is dominated by eccentrics, but, over the years, was much more likely to discredit conspiracy theories instead of perpetuating them.
11. Filling in forms on the last page of the books
The more similar services are now virtual libraries as "Customers who bought this book also bought ..."
12. Photo albums and slide shows
Facebook, Flickr and printing sites like Snapfish photos are the new way to share our photos. At the beginning of this year, Kodak announced that it discontinued the production of his classic film Kodachrome by lack of demand.
13. Relying on travel agents to put together holiday
To plan a vacation and need not necessarily go by the travel agent trying to sell that package insistently "to miss". Specialized websites make the trip of dreams within budget possible.
14. Teens eager for her first Playboy
Pornography on the Internet free and heavy ended one of the most dreaded rites of passage of children to adolescents: the sale of pornographic magazines. Why tremble in line to buy the latest Playboy if you can live off mountains of obscenities in his bed?
15. Wristwatches
Staying in the pocket for your phone may not be as elegant to look at a wristwatch, but it is more economical and practical to run around with two teams.
16. Undiscovered artists
Place your paintings or poems online is so easy for unknown artists no longer have excuses.
17. Writing letters
An e-mail is faster, cheaper and convenient. Receiving a handwritten letter from a friend became a rare pleasure, and even nostalgic. As a result, formal farewell phrases like "With best wishes" were replaced by a simple "valuable."
18. Burn time
When was the last time you spent an hour watching the world through the window, or reading your favorite book again? The attraction of the internet on our attention is unrelenting and increasingly difficult to resist.
19. Watch TV together
Internet allows relatives and friends see the same programs at different times and in different places, ending with the meaning of one who was one of the most attractive cultural appeal of the middle class, shared experience. TV shows to watch together, if they still exist, are limited to sporting events and reality shows.
20. The lunch interval
Do you leave your computer for lunch? Or eat a sandwich while answering personal emails and see the latest promotions for air tickets?
