You'd have all the recorded entertainment you could possibly want. My grandparents liked electric stoves and telephones well enough, but also griped that thoughtful letters and coal stoves had advantages they missed, too. I don't think they would have batted an eye if they were told things were going back to the old ways. It would be like living in a small town, mostly, and many prefer that; to be part of a tight group, not lonely in an endless mass of very loosely connected people.
