    The main difference was that in 1975 when you liked something someone said, you told them, “I like that.” You didn’t move your finger down to any “like” icon and click it. And for that matter, businesses didn’t put signs in their windows asking you to like them. Your continuing to come back showed you liked them. And businesses had windows, because they had physical locations.

    I could go back to 1975. The technology was similar to what I used back in the 80s. Cassette tapes, rotary phones the TV with no remote board games video games I played Atari before and all of the TV . The Jeffersons All in the family and of course happy days and a lot of the music I like is from that time. Wings, Jackson 5 , the Fab four would still be fab playing on the oldies station.

    I turned 12 in the summer of 1975, so I lived the things discussed in this video, except I never owned 8-track tapes. I remember pet rocks, but never had one. We didn't get a mall in our area till 1977. Anyway the 70s was the best time to grow up in my opinion. You're a little off regarding when high-priced full-size cars got automatic. That happened in the late 50s, before I was born. I never saw a stick-shift car till someone in church bought a stick-shift Ford Granada, and he had specifically ordered it with stick-shift. That was around 1975 or 76.

      I’m sure 1875 had its problems, but since I’m not nearly as old as someone like you who was born during the Civil War, I’ll have to take your word for it. 😉 Now 1975, on the other hand, I do remember. I was 17 that year. And it was a difficult and depressing time for me as well.

    There was no such song limitation on an 8 track tape. It had 8 audio channels along the entire length of it, since they were stereo it needed to play 2 tracks at a time, the tape played in a continuous loop and each time it would change "programs" to the next part of the album on the same piece of tape. The album could be up to 80 minutes long.

    In 1972 my dad bought me a battery portable cassette player. It didn't have earphones only a speaker. It is funny how some make videos without doing homework. There were newspapers that most read. Magazines, comic books. Road maps, most gas stations gave them free. But usually they only had maps for that state and surrounding states. There were books that had all 50 states but there were not as detailed. Most cars and pickups had manual transmission because they were more reliable and they cost less. People were mostly thin as home cooking was still common. In most places kids played outside, all day, all summer. Playgrounds were still fun. What people today call "dangerous" ha ha. I never heard of a kid being killed by a playground. Nothing like the number of kids killed by guns today. Boy scouts and girl scouts were popular and fun. There was lots to learn, much more than what people have to do today. Like cooking, working on a car or pickup, installing at TV antenna, many sewed clothes for family, how to use TV guide,. In 77 VCR were on the market and camcorders too

      I am with you. Things were so much nicer back then. All of the technology that we have now doesn't make up for people spending more time with each other, talking to each other when they were each other's presence instead of looking at a cell phone, and not being afraid to go to a public place for fear of some dumbass mowing down a bunch of people with a gun. Sure, the convenience of being able to stream entertainment either though a streaming service connected to a tv, or phone is nice; but, going to the movies with a group of people or taking a trip to the video store made the experience a shared one. With all of the ways that everyone can entertain him or herself, people isolate themselves from one another quite a bit now and socializing with others isn't as important as it used to be.

    I have to share my creepy Furby story here which I believe confirms this. I was born in the mid 80's, my youngest brother got a Furby sometime in the 90's. He had it for a while at this point and we all played with it and lil bro treated it like his pet, taking it everywhere with him. One weekend night my whole family is sitting in the basement watching Beetlejuice, that Day-O songs comes on and the furby straight up plays back a recording of "Come mister tally man, tally me Banana" It was not in his creepy furby voice. We were all pretty shocked by it because it had never done that before. My dad who is an engineer looked at it and said "hmmm, it must have a microphone"

      True, and lots of people know that that's mostly why animes have become more popular than the western animated shows that have been produced in these modern years. Along with the wierd lazy looking artstyles that have been used for reboots of 90s animated shows and the fact that most of the people making those reboots disrespectfully don't let most of what made the original versions of those shows be so great be in the rebooted versions of them.😡
