Answer:
"Is Our Gain Also our Loss" talks about how things have changed with technology and the uncertainty of the future.
The author realizes that activities, traditions, the way we do homework, or how we get information; has changed in contrast with his father's childhood, who had to check the TV every hour to see the weather forecast, and in comparison with her childhood. She becomes aware that some gadgets will be weird for the next generations, like wired headphones, and she feels nostalgic about that.
This nostalgia makes her wonder if things will be better with how technology changes our lives every day. Besides, she feels sad for the lost traditions that the next generations will not experience and for realizing that she might be the last generation of children who experienced some of those things, like handwritten letters or going to a Blockbuster.
Towards the end, she wonders if things will change for other things that are perceived as fresher ones, as happened with her father's generation, or if technology will be impossible to improve since it has reached a point where it is perfect, impacting on traditions. She concludes that technology evolves, but how it will affect our future is yet to be known.
