30 Day Challenge: Use modern computers like it’s 1989

The way we interacted with our computers in 1989 was, in so many respects, fundamentally different than how we compute today.  Always connected to the Internet.  Push notifications.  Social Media.  These things simply weren’t around (not really and not for most of us) back in the late 80’s and early 90’s.  What would it be like to utilize my modern computing equipment with a set of restrictions designed to recreate that 1980’s experience?  Is thinking that it would be better simply viewing the past through rose-colored glasses?  Or would my productivity, an happiness, change as a result?  I’m going to find out.  For the next 30 days.
