How hard would it be to adjust back to a world without the Internet and smartphones?

If people still have memory of the technology and its just taken away... it would be chaos

You can have my 5 social media accounts when you pry them from my cold, dead ''HOL ON LEMME POST DIS" hands.

If it ever happened I am dumping all my money into phone booth manufacturing.

I would love for it to be like the 80s and 90s. I wish there was no such thing as internet and smartphones. The World and families would be a lot better

I don't think it would be too tough.

I broke a phone a few years ago with about 2 weeks until my next upgrade. I decided to just wait 2 weeks to buy a new one.

The first few days SUCKED. But after about a week I didn't even think about my phone. Never had an urge to feel for it and look something up or surf the web or text anyone. After 2 weeks I didn't even care that I didn't have a phone.

The largest downside I see now with technology is how we become virtual tribalists. Too many self segregate into camps and deem others differing from them to be "the problem".

early 90s?!?!?! hell, I worked for a global firm in 1998 and we didn't get beepers and bag phones until 2000.


Back to the question, i would love it.

You'll have to pry my Jitterbug flip phone from my cold dead hands!!!!
