The nagative; nothing will be at your fingertips anymore. You'll have to go out and do your shopping again, go to the library, read a book, etc etc
The positives; the end of instant gratification culture, end of mass hysteria and sensationalism of every global event, end of extreme political internet blogs. And... people will be forced to talk to eachother again, instead of being glued to their phones.
So basically, we're going back to the 90s... which tbh everyone seems to want right now anyway, given how romanticised to fuck that decade is.
The biggest 1990s groups we were all into were Nirvana, Nine inch nails, Red hot chili peppers, Smashing pumpkins, Guns n Roses, and Metallica. What about any of them are romantic? Romance of a decade often goes along with the music of the decade
Oh. I think we've all had our moments of looking at the past with rose colored glasses, particularly looking back at our youth. From what I've seen and know, the older one gets, the more it happens. I remember as a kid, my grandfather always telling me stories about how wonderful it was being young in the roaring 20s.
Would no more internet improve society?

Yes the 90s were a bit different. Back then, I would talk to people on the phone, and hear their voices. Imagine that.
Are the Nineties romanticized? Seriously?
I just about remember the Sixties, and they weren't nearly as cool as some people today believe they were.
You know you're getting old when decades you clearly recall as being shit in many ways are romanticized.

"Romanticised" as in fondly remembered (probably with some rose-tinted goggles) rather than being like "love" romantic.
It's something I've seen a lot lately
