Experience life with only the technology available in the 1980s—no smartphones, internet, or GPS—relying instead on maps, payphones, and encyclopedias for information. You'll rediscover the art of getting genuinely lost, appreciate face-to-face conversations, and gain perspective on how dramatically technology has changed human interaction.
