Even younger respondents who have never lived in such a world voted in favor of giving it a whirl

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.

    For real. I remember when I quit Facebook I stopped getting invited to things because people would just make FB events and call it good. Like close friends wouldn’t even realize I didn’t know about an event. Even now there’s an outdoor events group I wanted to join but they only organize on Facebook and I don’t want to make an account.
