I disagree. I think if you've come from the time before WiFi, with enough time before it to remember and have nostalgia for it, then you've already made your nut and are simply spending the time you have left in the relative carelessness of the upper middle class and that skews your perspective

I agree with your take. There's a lot of things we don't have to have that provide us a lot of value, so we have them anyway. Sliced bread (commercially available after the automobile!) comes to mind, as do antibiotics--which also have some negative consequences to go along with the benefits.

        Yes, I am referring to commercially available sliced bread. From what happened during WW2 when it was very briefly interdicted, I'd say it was far more impactful than wi-fi

However, you are free to think what you like.
