quote:

Blair McMillan and his partner Morgan Patey are both in their late 20s. A year ago they decided that modern living was for the birds, so they traded in their Facebooks for a landline and their pants for cut-off jorts. They wanted to live with the same technology that was available in 1986, the year both of them were born.

They committed themselves and their two young boys (ages 5 and 3) to trying this strange lifestyle for a year, under the assumption that if they loved it they could continue. But it really seems like the whole thing was more trouble than it was worth. The biggest problem? They were alienating themselves from the rest of the world
