"The acclaimed editor of The New York Times Book Review takes readers on a nostalgic tour of the pre-Internet age, offering powerful insights into both the profound and the seemingly trivial things we've lost. Remember all those ingrained habits, cherished ideas, beloved objects, and stubborn preferences from the pre-Internet age? They're gone. To some of those things we can say good riddance. But many we miss terribly. Whatever our emotional response to this departed realm, we are faced with the fact that nearly every aspect of modern life now takes place in filtered, isolated corners of cyberspace-a space that has slowly subsumed our physical habitats, replacing or transforming the office, our local library, a favorite bar, the movie theater, and the coffee shop where people met one another's gaze from across the room. Even as we've gained the ability to gather without leaving our house, many of the fundamentally human experiences that have sustained us have disappeared. In one hundred glimpses of that pre-Internet world, Pamela Paul, editor of The New York Times Book Review, presents a captivating record, enlivened with illustrations, of the world before cyberspace-from voicemails to blind dates to punctuation to civility. There are the small losses: postcards, the blessings of an adolescence largely spared of documentation, the Rolodex, and the genuine surprises at high school reunions. But there are larger repercussions, too: weaker memories, the inability to entertain oneself, and the utter demolition of privacy. 100 Things We've Lost to the Internet is at once an evocative swan song for a disappearing era and, perhaps, a guide to reclaiming just a little bit more of the world IRL"--

Dogs love these
Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
My dogs love these. Kind of like a potato strip. A simple dried but slightly chewy strip. Will buy again.

Best dog snack around.
These are my dog’s favorite snacks in the world. They are fresh, healthy, and the dog thinks she’s getting a naughty snack because they’re sweet! 😆

Good treats
Dogs love these! We have Chihuahuas and have to cut these in half for them as a while one is too large.

Healthy, Slightly Soft/Chewy Treat!
VERY pleased to have found these! Wanted something to offer Mookie as a "special treat" (a step up from Milkbones, but NOT long-lasting) that was healthy and easily digestible. He wasn't sure what to make of them at first... they're fairly soft and a little chewy, and they just smell like FRESH sweet potatoes -- not any fake meat or seasoning. Once he started chewing, however, he got very excited about the new treat, and now when he hears the bag being handled/opened, he comes running and does his little happy dance! We'll be keeping these on hand because the quality and reasonable price - combined with the LACK of tummy distress and his enjoyment - make this a "go-to" special reward.

A Nutritional Treat!
My German Shepherd loves this so much, I sometimes use it as a training treat! Sweet Potato is beneficial to dogs. The only complaint I have is the size consistency from bag to bag.
