Comment on Would social events be better if phones didn't have data?

I’m old enough that my early adulthood did not include cell phones (unless you count the brick phones), and certainly no Internet access. I enjoyed it more.

Are you sure it’s not because you were in better shape with fewer responsibilities?

  I’m in the same boat as OP, and while I think you’re probably right, I do also think that were I in better shape with fewer responsibilities now, I’d still prefer the experience of being at a gig/club night without phones.
  
  Only a personal preference of course, not saying people are wrong if they prefer how things are now.

Same. Fully agree. We can’t go out to eat without checking our phone now.

    Same. I can drive there, eat dinner, and drive home, all without checking my phone once.
