I&#x27;m the same age as the other guy.  Modern conveniences <i>are</i> great, so why should I go without?  Just because some hipster complains &quot;how dependent so many people have become on it&quot;?  People are pretty dependent on cars too.  Our great-great-great grandparents did just fine with horses and buggies.  Are you going to abandon your car now and get a horse?  People used to get along just fine living in mud huts or lean-tos.  Are you going to try living like that too, so that you don&#x27;t feel dependent on modern conveniences like houses with running water?<p>Why on earth would I <i>want</i> to go back to the days when it was easy to get lost, and I had to mess around with crappy paper maps, and had to try to find businesses using phone books, and you could only talk on the phone at certain points like your house and otherwise your spouse had no idea where you were?  The rest of us abandoned all that crap for good reason: it was a pain in the ass.
