If phones didn’t have the ability to use the internet. Would outside events like concerts, clubs, networking coms, parks, etc. benefit from that?

    I’m old enough that my early adulthood did not include cell phones (unless you count the brick phones), and certainly no Internet access. I enjoyed it more.

        I’m in the same boat as OP, and while I think you’re probably right, I do also think that were I in better shape with fewer responsibilities now, I’d still prefer the experience of being at a gig/club night without phones.

        Only a personal preference of course, not saying people are wrong if they prefer how things are now.

      Same. Fully agree. We can’t go out to eat without checking our phone now.
