Would you go back to the 80’s if you could?

You would have to leave all modern conveniences behind (for example smartphones).

How much do you miss that time period? I was a toddler when the 80’s ended, so unfortunately I don’t have any first-hand memories.

Yes. 80-s were too awesome. Except for Mike Archer taking over as HC for LSU..

Honestly that would be better for us millenials considering how society treats us because then we would’ve never been born

frick yeah. You could do coke without worrying about fentanyl. Good music. I loved the 80s and it was way better than the 80s, which were good but not great.

The lack of soy boys thinking they’re entitled to work from home would be worth it alone.

80s or 90s with intro and minimal of the internet impacting everyday life.

While the internet and technology have brought conveniences to life, it also brought along many unforeseen problems that has made them overall negatives.

Just do it over or knowing what I know now? Knowing things that I learned the hard way, even if it is just about people around me?

I'd prefer this

If I went back to the 80s, we'd be right back on the same track we are today. Also, if was was having a "do over," it could imperil the existence of my children

Of course, assuming I have the knowledge accumulated over the last 44+ years I could avoid mistakes and be insanely wealthy. Also, since I know where my current wife would be (and when), I could just meet up with her again.

Wipe my memory or leave it intact.
Doesn’t make a difference I’d still go back.
That’s a fact Jack!

I’d go simply to enjoy the music, amount of 70s cars still on the road, and the fact everyone isn’t fat

not having them would be a reason to go back! Same with work emails.
