What’s the point of this really? Yea you can live like 1999, but the world isn’t in 1999. You’re gonna miss out on the modern human experience, you’re gonna be “that guy”, you’re not gonna be able to relate to anyone, you won’t know about anyone’s life and no one will care to tell you.

Retreating to the past isn’t controlling your addictions, it’s giving up. You can own a smartphone, use social media, without it taking over your life, you just need self control. As the world changes you’re gonna be stuck grasping at a past that no longer exists. It will be lonely.
