It seems that sooner or later humanity will need to take a step back in regards to usage of technology and return to a pre-industrial way of living.
In a post-technological society, what would people do for fun?
Would humanity revert to a primal state of unenhancemented hedonism and degradation?
Would people turn to space colonization to pass the time?
I can't imagine life without computers, video games, A/V media.
Human life is so mundane and boring and lacking.
Human society is so addicted to the dopamine releases from television, the web, video games and all the drugs (including caffeinated drinks and tobacco) plus all the literal mentally ill people reliant on prescriptions that if suddenly all of humanity were deprived of these things there would be massive riots and basically a literal zombie apocalypse.
something needs to happen though
People are being pushed towards a path of integration with technology over the decades, where will it end?
and as society becomes more dependent on technology, if suddenly the grid went down everything would fall apart.
What would I be doing right now if suddenly all the computers on earth disappeared and the internet as well.
Would I just go outside and walk around aimlessly?

You would not last long. I grew up in poverty so I'm used to living without even power and heat in cold winters

You have no experience doing that and you're soft so you will probably starve to death in a field of diseased crops if you try

I wish there was a really decent post-apocalyptic survival FPS RPG
I want to explore the ruins of the United States and gun down zombified NPCs
I want to see the crumbled and torn down cities and all the skeletal remains
If I were a game developer I would go on to create the greatest games of all time

But you're not and you never will be. You are just talk living in a delusional fantasy world.

Yeah I'm text that has a lot more survivalist experience than you, and I got bored of that shit years ago. I was making zombie kits when I was a teenager and you are just thinking of doing it now.
Talk about unprepared. I got bored of survivalist stuff and decided the best thing I could do for an apocalypse is memorize how to make everything on the WHO essential medicines list
While you're scavenging pharmacies for aspirin pill bottles I'll be making it myself from wintergreen oil

Magic has been a part of our survival for a long time.
