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.

    There’s the radio-free zone in VA that has no cell service or wireless devices. You could always live there.

      I bet it’s cheap too. I wonder if people have ethernet ports in their homes you can just plug into instead of wifi.

        I think so. And they use old school wired phones. No wireless speakers.
        There’s a service that scans the area and looks for any radio sources. It’s crazy.
