I think there should be a movement against postmodern tech

[vlkmo]

There should not only be a movement, but an entire cultural shift away from modern cell phones and social media websites. I grew up as a child in the last "fun" era where I got to have a glimpse of a world before the rise of social media, Tinder-like dating, etc. I believe that if I was a teenager or in my 20s well before the arrival of that stuff, then I might have not have been single through those years and wouldn't still be a virgin today. I wonder if the political culture would've evolved in a more tolerable direction if it wasn't for the 24/7 always-online internet grid.

I loathe the 21st century, I would prefer to live in the older Western culture especially the period of the latter 20th century. I long for a time machine. I think the 50s to the 90s were sort of a golden values compromise and the 50s-60s were an economic golden age. But I am stuck where I am now and when I was born, and I am frustrated by that.

We can also change the present to be better, but a mass culture shift is unlikely to happen. I wonder if we should just blame the postmodern tech (especially modern internet and apps, smartphones) as the root for the present social ills instead, it would also be indirectly solving the problem without calling it. People should try at least.
