Man I agree with wanting less constant connectivity but I think a lot of people have a rather rose-tinted view of that time period. In most of the world it wasn't exactly the best of times for people who fell outside of certain societal norms - trans folk were mostly thought of as punchlines to jokes, being gay was a common insult, beating up people for being their genuine selves was still pretty common, and so on.

Ah yes, but every time--past, present, and future--is fated to be someone's good old days. Every change comes with positives and negatives. We tend to remember more positives from the past while focusing on the negatives of the present.
