I was thinking today how cool it would be to live in a community that restricted technology to things no later than 2010.

I’m not sure exactly why but I can’t think of anything after then that properly enriches my life.

If you could pick a date and create a real community around it, when would you choose?

    It’s only in the past couple years that photovoltaic panels and LFP batteries have been cheap enough for communities or households to run completely on off-grid solar power. 2010 would have a lot more fossil fuel burning. That’s a significant technological development. OTOH I’m using a 2011-era computer right now and am fine with it.
