To me, this is the "past generations" litmus test I measure any of my personal preferences against. If people were able to handle not-it in 1920, it's probably a "nice to have" rather than a "must have." Which, we can all feel very strongly about things that are nice to have, but people were also doing just fine before constant connectivity was a thing. |

You didn't have telephone, but probably somebody nearby you could call and give a message.
You didn't have a freezer, but you had a butcher within walking distance.
And you didn't have a phone in your school, but you also didn't have retarded media that spread news that required.
Also you could probably have a gun on you, and if it was hunting season there would be plenty of guns in the parking lot to stop a school threat.
