Great reason for sure!

Fascinating subject for sure.

This is the era of the printing press from the 1600s

shite went crazy then as well.

I would in a second. I would also go back to no cell phones. Life was much simpler.

One thing is for certain. Until the invention of social media, I never knew that there were so many 1st amendment lawyers and people that wrote the NFL's cba agreements.

No
The porn is too good.

But that might be the problem.

I love the internet. I just wish social media would disappear. Not every mouth breathing moron needs "a voice"

Yeah. It would be weird for a while, but I’d honestly be more productive. The thing I would miss the most is being able to just look stuff up in seconds.

Absolutely, a lot of the violence and instability we have today is because of the internet. A lot of misinformation gets shared.

Oh, Hell yes. Being a kid in the 70s and a teenager in the 80s blew this shite away.

Yes, for the greater good.

The conveniences aren’t worth the downsides. We got along fine with a Mapsco or hand written directions, and less time staring at a little screen. We were all smarter and more considerate of others.

Yes. Though I go nowhere without my phone I really miss the days of no cell phones. I’m a couple years from retirement and have started to think about giving up my cell and coasting
