Yes but we don't have any of those machines here. We don't have aeroplanes or autos, we have floo and brooms and flying carpets and apparation. We don't have muggle medicines or vaxines, we have Healers. We don't have all the other things muggles use to do the things we do with magic so Mr Longbottom doesn't have access to any of them.
If you want me to try to live for a year without magic I think I could manage and it would be interesting and fun if I were in France where I could drive an auto or fly an aeroplane or go to a doctor -- well, actually, if I were ill I'd still want to go to a Healer. But I know how to plant a garden and weed it and harvest the food and cook it. But I'd bloody well want to be using a proper muggle stove to cook it, not a fire I had to build out of logs I had to cut down with an ax. I'd want to have water that came out of a faucet and not water I had to carry up from a stream in a bucket and I'd want a way to heat it up for baths because cold baths are horrid.
