hi all, new here so this is my first post (been lurking and reading)

Just a thought:
I don't think it's all that much that they're "giving up" tho I suppose it would depend on their skills and abilities as a wizard.  It seems like  just about anything you can do with technology can be done with magic, just  need to learn how, or find someone who does. And also imo, there are magical people out there amongst the muggles all the time, they just aren't supposed to be using their magic in sight of the muggles. So there's nothing to say that they can't spend time in both places (the muggle born) Like they do when they go home for breaks.

Just my 2 knuts

Well it is no different than people who give up modern comforts to 
go to under developed countries, like with the Peace Corp, etc. Or 
those who go to some of the more strict monasteries where, while 
they have furnaces, it is still freezing cold in the winter and they 
lack most of the modern conforts that the rest of us take for 
granted. And then there are those who leave the modern world to live 
in the backwoods places. I have met people who were happy to leave 
the city and go deep into the woods of Northern Michigan without 
electricity or running water. Not my cup of tea, but people do do it. 
So it doesn't seem that odd to me that Muggleborns would be willing 
to give up the comforts of the Muggle world to be with their own 
kind. After a while you just forget what you have left behind.

After having just returned from a quiet, splendorous 4 day trip to Shenandoah Valley 
and then returning to cell phones, traffic, mail, voice mails, etc... I don't think
it would take much for me to give it all up.
