Mephistopheles visits you and promises you guaranteed entrance to heaven. The caveat is, for the rest of your life you have to subsist on technology advances made up until the year 2003.
Would you take this proposition? Could you live without technological breakthroughs made since 2003? If not, what technological breakthrough has been fundamental to your life since 2003?

I'm not too concerned with going to hell, but if I were, I'd take it. There are pros and cons to everything. The biggest disadvantages would be some loss of productivity, medical breakthroughs, and no bitcoin. Otherwise, it might be mostly advantages.
