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?

    I have had a cell phone since 1991. Same phone number since then even. Of course, back then a cell phone was just a phone… that you used to make phone calls. That was it. Texting wasn’t a thing yet and wouldn’t be in widespread use for a few years. Apps on a handheld device was still science fiction.

      I used one of these in the mid-90s over AMPS. It wasn’t mine, but I made a few call on it on several occasions. What a beast.
