It is so easy to not use tailwind, apple, photoshop, or openai. It's really easy to stay off of social networks. Computers are smaller/easier to move so lan parties are easier (although as a real adult with a real job they're harder to pull off).

The world war 3 bits suck, i'll admit, but most of the "early internet" stuff that people are nostalgic about still exists, you just have to look for it.
