I don’t think it’s possible to get “normal” back. I miss it terribly, experiencing my youthful years without tech, big family parties regularly, every weekend at my grandmas house all of my aunts and uncles would come over with my cousins for a meal, adults drinking and partying while the kids played, it was glorious. I didn’t have a computer in my house until 17 years old, and it wasn’t a huge part of my life after we got it. I was always out fishing or hiking back then, or going to concerts/festivals, skateboarding, sports, even watching movies was a wholesome experience because you went out on a Friday night to blockbuster video to rent something with your girlfriend, family or friends, it was fun searching through the movies hoping you’d get one of the new releases, but if one wasn’t there, you went through the old movies you hadn’t seen in a long time, they always had a good deal that was like rent 1 get another rental for free and it would be a fun night for you and whoever you were with. Computer tech robbed us of all of that stuff, we are all staring at our phones way too much, it takes away from how humans are supposed to interact and it’s never coming back unless the sun blasts us with an a massive EMP.
It's fucking scary when I see Alpha and Zoomers watch movies from the 80's, and they literally don't even have references to the kinds of parties that used to be normal.

Don't forget neighborhood block parties.
