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.

My family is like this and my wife still does not understand it. We make plans, they are the plans until they change.

"Did you call your mom and see if we're still going?" Why would I do that? We made the plans. If we say we're all meeting at the grand canyon at noon on September 1st 2037 then we'll be there, those are the plans.
