The Internet — the greatest invention of the XX century. He received such distribution for short time that we do not represent life without "Worldwide network" any more. And all are convinced that the Internet — the undoubted benefit! However whether it took away something important from mankind?
Everyone, mastered Internet, cannot but note its beneficial influence on the life. It broadens horizons and a circle of contacts, in network it is possible quickly and without leaving the house to gain new knowledge, answers to almost all questions... Yes, some things leave our life whether but it is worth being sorry about all?
Mass media. Namely — newspapers and logs. The former popularity of these once popular printing editions promptly consigns to the past. Who will want to spend now money (and considerable) for purchase of that, as necessary and that for one-two days? All necessary information can be obtained on the monitor screen, and not just to learn, but at once to discuss, learn the opinions of other people.
Whether it is worth being upset concerning such "loss"? Hardly. The senior generation, maybe, vzdlokhnt with nostalgia according to the former long-awaited fresh newspaper, "a novelty smell", the long-awaited log... But whether will want to return deposits of the turned yellow newspapers in the life.
Reference books and encyclopedias. Here whose century is finished irrevocably! Bulky, multivolume, occupying nearly whole bookcase — they are of interest only to collectors now. We find any data in one second, several clicking of the button. And it is undoubted convenience.
Epistolary genre. And it is really a pity for this... Already whole generation of people who do not know grew that such non-registered, paper letter, a card by a holiday, a love note... No, the convenience is undoubted — the e-mail for read seconds finds the addressee where it would not be. But — the paper letter written by a favourite hand with a fingerprint, with the circled children's palm... Long-awaited, carefully stored in which each letter transfers mood writing this letter — whether it is a pity for it? Perhaps, it is a pity... The same as real-life communication, it will not be enough for us.
Refuse achievements of the present for the sake of old man "and earlier it was better", of course, is not necessary. Yes nobody will do it! The main thing that the worldwide network served for the good, did not deprive of something expensive, and saved it unnecessary. And also integrated people that it did not turn out, as in the famous poem:
Through this haze, through this grid,
Each other is seen by us hardly.
The voice through a cage is slightly heard,
Words are disfigured.
