100 things we’ve lost to The internet

*100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet* is a reflection on how digital technology has reshaped our lives, often at the expense of traditional experiences and practices. From the tangible and personal, such as handwritten letters, physical maps, and face-to-face conversations, to the more abstract, like our attention spans and privacy, the internet has gradually replaced or diminished countless elements of daily life. While it has brought unprecedented convenience and connectivity, this rapid shift has also eroded skills and habits once considered integral, like the ability to navigate without GPS or the practice of waiting for something instead of instant gratification. The loss of these “things” isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s a commentary on how the digital age has redefined what we value and how we experience the world.
