| Nowadays People relied to much on Smartphone that basically all they had what happen like Back to Future were you accidentally went back in time can you survive without a smartphone, internet or any good video console What do you think? |

| i guess they will survive since humans are good at adapting most of the time but few of them will be stuck or get mentally sick |
| I had a flip-phone until 2017, and I also remember still using 3.5'' floppy disks and Windows XP in freshman year of highschool. I don't know about the 80s but I think could survive from the 90s to the mid 2000s. Gen Z/Alpha definitely couldn't survive either though. |
  |
| Without...smartphones, most likely, but without... _internet _computers _no easy access to porn ...most definitely not |
| "Can a Gen Z/alpha can survive the 80s" Just like the Borg in Star Trek, they would adapt. |
 |
| I don't know of any users old enough to remember the 80s. What do you mean no wifi? The internet wasn't even publicly used much until about 1995 on so what would you even do with WiFi in the 80s? lol Most would not have a cell phone either. Only businessmen and maybe some rich kids had cell phones and they are huge bricks. But they would just get used to it unless they are into more niche interests like anime or something |

| Not only they can adapt, but they will soon find out that without smart phone, social media, internet and so on, they will be happier, leading simple happy lives, where having fun is as simply as playing hide and seek, or playing polices and thieves, in the garden or some old buildings, or gossiping about there are ghosts in that old building They will have more activities that involve body movements, it's much healthier lifestyle for kids compared to now, physically and mentally healthier |

Exhumatika said: It's like driving a car that has only a single 1st gear transmission; no point in bragging about that you have a car and that you go places. All I did was say a basic fact. I didn't even disagree that it was bigger in early 2000s as you can see in the bar graph. Just saying it was accessible in the 90s. Bear in mind earlier web design was a lot more lightweight than today. The only major difference between 90s and early 2000s technology wise DSL becoming more affordable I think. Im not sure when cable became more common since that heavily depends on region on when the infrastructure was installed. |

| In the west, I guess they would? Here? In the 80s there was communism and access to electronics... maybe that times were not as extreme as it used to be earlier or in othe communistic countries as communism was gradually falling but that's not the soft times like it is right now. Not to mention that in schools back in those days a teacher could beat you up if you missbehaved [or if they simply wanted] and your parents, they would make a 2nd round on you, cause it was a sign of lack of discipline as the teacher was the right one and if you had bruises or other visible damage than you've been punished for a reason so the parents would punish you again even if they didn't know the reason, imagine that happening right now. [All of that based on my family and older buddies memories as I wasn't born yet back than x), one of my friend actually got few times beaten like described] |
| The 80s? That easy. You just find the owner of the biggest business in your town, slam your fist on his desk and say "I'm your man." Then you go buy a car and a house with your first salary, or something like that. |
| Their brains would literally implode, there's no way they could survive. |
| pffft. I still don't own a smartphone and I'm damn proud of it. The games on the original Nintendo Entertainment System were great, and notably more challenging than games tend to be now.

I'm a 1982 kid... and i Remember the 1980's just fine. My Parent's Music became the soundtrack of my Childhood... and i actually didn't grow up to resent that either. My Folks weren't Wealthy by any means... but they did try their utmost to raise me well, with lots of positive influence and role modelling that in many ways has stuck with me to this day. Between my mother's efforts to encourage interest in NASA and Aerospace Engineering in general and her unconventional approach of raising me around both Boys' and Girls' Toys and such, i suppose you could say that my lifelong interests already had their Foundations laid before i even left my Preteens...        |

Maybe if i were born in 80s i would somehow adapt (but it would still be much worse than now) but if i went back in time i would die of boredom.

TransferUser said: People had a lot more sex in the 1980s, though. I think that maybe the more we move towards modern lifestyle the less intercourse/kids people have. Farming is like the one proffesion associated with 'old times' and statistically farmers have the most intercourse out of all the proffesions. And 80s had more child births (US statistics) The average for first childbirth in the 80s was around 23 whereas now its around 27. People just have more stuff to focus on and work for now before all that. |
