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'm 36. Been feeling midlife crisis-y for at least a year. My body's on the decline (not bad but I obviously passed my peak), I'm terrified of illness, time feels like it has truly shifted into high gear. I've just been trying to embrace my middle age lol
