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.

I think this is a part of it. Also, sprinkle in a good amount of wanting to go back to being younger.

But yeah, the golden era of the internet (whichever you deem that to be) felt way less fucky than what we’re dealing with now.
