100 things we have lost in the Internet age - Pamela Paul

From Afternoons, 3:10 pm on 29 November 2021

Yes kids, there was a time before the internet, before you could Google answers to every question, curate your life online, and visit places you had never seen before apart from the images in a travel brochure. We know about the erosion of democracy and teenage self-esteem in the internet age and Pamela Paul, the editor of the New York Times Book Review, reflects on the small ways it's changed us; no more relying on your own doctor, Christmas cards, blind dates or blessed solitude.  Her new book is called 100 Things We've Lost to the Internet.
