Seventy-seven percent of middle-age Americans (35-54 years old) say they want to return to a time before society was “plugged in,” meaning a time before there was widespread internet and cell phone usage. As told by a new Harris Poll (via Fast Company), 63% of younger folks (18-34 years old) were also keen on returning to a pre-plugged-in world, despite that being a world they largely never had a chance to occupy.

      It’s true that is really much worse. It’s also true that plenty of people didn’t watch much tv then or now.
      That’s like saying the junk food, malt liquor, and fast food was better.
