What would you miss most?
As alluded to in many other threads of the same nature, I would simply curl up in a ball and die if transported to the golden era. There are things I like about it, I pick & choose them. In answer to the question though, the microprocessor.- Dragon Soldier

What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?
