Matthew More from <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/technology\/6133903\/50-things-that-are-being-killed-by-the-internet.html\">The Telegraph<\/a> wrote a fun article on 50 things that are <em>killed<\/em> by the Internet. Here are my 5 favorites:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Letter writing\/pen pals<\/strong>: Email is quicker, cheaper and more convenient; receiving a handwritten letter from a friend has become a rare, even nostalgic, pleasure. As a result, formal valedictions like &#8220;Yours faithfully&#8221; are being replaced by &#8220;Best&#8221; and &#8220;Thanks&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Memory<\/strong>: When almost any fact, no matter how obscure, can be dug up within seconds through Google and Wikipedia, there is less value attached to the &#8220;mere&#8221; storage and retrieval of knowledge. What becomes important is how you use it \u2013 the internet age rewards creativity. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jimstolze.nl\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/google-billboard.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"google-billboard\" align=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dead time<\/strong>: When was the last time you spent an hour mulling the world out a window, or rereading a favourite book? The internet&#8217;s draw on our attention is relentless and increasingly difficult to resist. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Delayed knowledge of sporting results<\/strong>:  When was the last time you bought a newspaper to find out who won the match, rather than for comment and analysis? There&#8217;s no need to fall silent for James Alexander Gordon on the way home from the game when everyone in the car has an iPhone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The mystery of foreign languages<\/strong>: Sites like Babelfish offer instant, good-enough translations of dozens of languages \u2013 but kill their beauty and rhythm. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Concentration<\/strong>: What with tabbing between Gmail, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jimstolze\">Twitter<\/a>, Facebook and Google News, it&#8217;s a wonder anyone gets their work done. A disturbing trend captured by the wonderful XKCD webcomic. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The usefulness of reference pages at the front of diaries<\/strong>: If anyone still digs out their diaries to check what time zone Lisbon is in, or how many litres there are to a gallon, we don&#8217;t know them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The nervous thrill of the reunion<\/strong>: You&#8217;ve spent the past five years tracking their weight-gain on Facebook, so meeting up with your first love doesn&#8217;t pack the emotional punch it once did. <\/li>\n<ul>\n<p>(Via: <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/patrick\">Patrick<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people think of the Internet as a part of nearly everything.
