Family Is Going To Live Like It's 1986
GUELPH, Ont.-- If you ever need to know who was the prime minister in 1960 and you’re willing to wait 10 minutes for the answer, Blair McMillan is your man.
He’ll thumb through a volume of his vintage encyclopaedia set, donated by a bewildered soul who probably wondered why the 26-year-old father of two couldn’t just get an Internet connection.
Blair and his girlfriend Morgan, 27, are pretending it’s 1986.
Their house has banned any technology post-1986, the year the couple was born.
No computers, no tablets, no smart phones, no fancy coffee machines, no Internet, no cable, and - from the point of view of many tech-dependent folks - no life.
The family started shunning technology after Blair asked his son Trey to join him in playing outside.
