Gains and Losses

I have began thinking about the question "what have we lost and gained with the presence of the internet?" So, I thought I would make a list...

Gains:

Locating Family Members: http://www.familysearch.org/
Finding Old Friends: http://www.myspace.com/
Getting Dates: http://www.match.com/home/mymatch.aspx?
Obtaining Directions: http://www.mapquest.com/
Discovering if there are Sex Offenders in your Area: http://www.familywatchdog.us/
Hearing Local Opinions: http://annarbor.craigslist.org/rnr/
Ordering Movies to your Doorstep: http://www.blockbuster.com/
Buy and Sell: http://www.ebay.com/

Not to mention one can find whatever they want. Go ahead try it: http://www.google.com/

I find it harder to list things that we have lost. Let see...

I am having a difficult time thinking of anything worthwhile that has been lost due to the internet. If anyone can think of anything feel free to chime in.
