re: Would the world a better place if we were reset to early 90s tech?

My choice would be to freeze technology at about 1985. We had everything we really needed by then

I almost put the reset in the 80s and I would be happy with that, but felt that might be too abrupt for most.

In early 90s you had affordable home computers and decent modem speeds to use services like AOL/Compuserve for very early internet searching and email/messaging and while limited, there were cell phones out there (I had a Star-TAC and minutes were expensive as shite, but they were not impossible to obtain).
