Seeking life before the internet
Seeking life before the internet
What do you think about a town where the internet doesn't exist in everybody's lives as much and a lot of things are done as if it is still the 80s and early 90s. I feel like the 90s was the last decade that had a good balance of tech and human interaction. I loathe the trend of everything we are doing is moving to cyberspace and moving all-digital. I love analog things and brick-and-mortar stores. Some people say it is better today but hearing about what it was like from older relatives makes me feel like I want society to be like that again.

Yes, in Mennonite areas. Try central Pennsylvania or Colonia Vianna in north Mexico.vlkmo wrote: ↑September 16th, 2023, 6:58 pmWhat do you think about a town where the internet doesn't exist in everybody's lives as much and a lot of things are done as if it is still the 80s and early 90s.

The Internet is alright if the government censor brain melting sh*t like Tiktok, Onlyfans, Instagram and others.
You can live like the Amish, but even the Amish sometimes use technology

Re: Seeking life before the internet
The old internet was great. No normshits, no toilets, no trannies and other mentally ill degenerates, no woketards, no globohomo controlling everything, etc. It quickly went to shit after smartphones became popular and every retard went online. The internet used to be a place to escape our shitty world. Now it's a place for social media, TikTok, OnlyFans, Tinder, and NPCs wanting to shut down and censor freedom of speech.

100% agree. Old internet was the best. New Internet is complete garbage for your brain.Epsilon99 wrote: ↑September 18th, 2023, 7:34 pmThe old internet was great.

Try somewhere in the Sahel or Papua New Guinea.
Mount Athos works too.

Don't have a problem so much with using technology itself when really necessary. But, oh do the Amish have a point.Natural_Born_Cynic wrote: ↑September 18th, 2023, 10:27 amThe Internet is alright if the government censor brain melting sh*t like Tiktok, Onlyfans, Instagram and others.

Re: Seeking life before the internet
What I don't like about the Internet is always being forced to use apps to get stuff and being pressured to constantly sign long agreements.
Email your congressmen to raise the taxes of any corporation that requires Eula and privacy agreements more than a few pages long.
I also don't like people always listening to studd when you want to talk to them, but I saw that on a college campus with the i-pod just before Apple's launch of the the i-phone introduced the smart phone to the market.
