- 20 Things From The 1970s, We Can No Longer Do!
Join me in my latest UA-cam video where I explore "20 Things From The 1970s, We Can No Longer Do!" Discover how technological advancements, changing social norms, and new laws have made these once common activities a thing of the past in the USA.
I miss reading the Sunday funny papers and doing the crossword puzzles in newspapers.
Takes me back.
I still remember our moms kicking us all out of the house in the mornings with the only stipulations being "be back for lunch" and then outside again until the "street lights come on."... sigh....good times, good times.
That way until I hit my early teens and then every second had to be accounted for! Moved out at 18 woot woot!
I remember running home before the street light turned on dad waiting in the yard. You better run, or your ass is going to be whipped the good old days
70'S ROCKED PERIOD
I still have that radio shack 8 track tape deck and a pieoneer 8 track/ FM radio deck in my HS car I've owned for 51 years.
damn that is priceless today !!!
So ; as society became safer and more convenient it has become stupider and lazier
lmao yea and they dont obey speed limits so they made us where seat belts lmfao
AND FASCIST OPPRESSIVE. AND IF YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION I'LL REPORT YOU :)
I've got 3 words for those who were kids in the '70s: Sears. Christmas. Catalog.
Was the Amazon of that era 👍
Penney's too. For some Montgomery Ward.
I remember the Sears Christmas catalog...😁
sears and roebuck hell yeah
Loved that catalogue and the stores. And Woolworth's.
About power windows on cars. They are only safer if the key is in the ignition. Manual windows are safer in an emergency if the car is not turned on.
My truck was bought with roll down windows because I had to many issues with power windows and traveling through tolls and a bad AC made life miserable. Still have it and love the old ways.
@@toddcorrigan4874 There's definitely something to be said for the reliability and simplicity of manual windows, especially in tough conditions. Sometimes, the old ways are the best ways.
Power windows quit working often
I do not intend to go off a bridge, thank you.
All I can say about this video is Thanks for the Memories.🇺🇲🤔🤔🇺🇲
I loved catalogs then and still do.
Oh how I love the 70’s. All these thing mentioned in the video I experienced it. The days playing all day doing anything with the neighborhood kids & only coming in for lunch & dinner. Going to the drive-in as a teenage & hiding in trunk for some of us.🤣 There’s a drive-in close by me in the summer now but no hiding now 🤣 & I still play records on my record play. The hours I spent in phone booth down the street from home as a teen talking secretly to my boyfriend. 👍😁
LSD in the 70s😵💫 Orange Sunshine, Purple Haze, Window Pane, Purple Micro Dot, Pink Floyd will never go away. Mr. Natural Lives On.
Yeah Cleveland Ohio , West Side
Psilocybin mushrooms! And led zeppelin!😵💫🤯😵💫
Who all used a pair of plyers to roll down the window when the handle broke 😂🤣🤣🤣
Clamp on vice grips on a 63 vw beetle.😮
Channel locks while my dad cussed up a storm
@@Webb63 oh the memories 🤣🤣🤪
Oh Yeah, I too
had the same vice grip steering wheel on my v-dubb
@@user-xr3pr2uh6h those days built character in us didn't they 😁
Tuning in to the radio at the drive in? When did that newfangled idea start?
Platform shoes. Mood rings and puka-shell necklaces. Disco (Gone, thank goodness). Decent meals on airline flights
What? You don't like Donna Summer and The Bee Gees? 😂
Crank handles on car windows are better and safer especially when trying to escape your car. Keep it simple less to go wrong. Also makes it harder to steal your car.
Absolutely!
Love my electric windows. Real luxuory . It's my seats that crank.
I know where there is working pay phones are and I still drive with out a seat belt and I still have all my vinyl records and 8 track tapes and cassette tapes I still drive an old car and ride a old Harley Davidson Sportster I even have all my old CB radios and I have not changed from the 70's I still have all my old cameras I still listen to my old music from the 70's I was born in 1966 but I ve never left those years
vinyl certainly sounds best!
I realize it was a fluke but in 1974 I was driving a DeTomaso Pantera and was hit on the driver’s door by a Z-28 going 60+. I came to in the passenger seat. One of the cops said to me, “Lucky you weren’t wearing a seatbelt. You probably would have been killed.” I looked at the car and the door was punched into the steering column.
our local drive in recently went from 2 screens to 5!
Where's that?
From my memories what really killed off drive-in theatres was the skyrocketing price of "land". Drive-in movie owners just couldn't resist an offer that was equal to 10 years of movie revenue. Especially older owners who were on the fence about retiring or not.....and were concerned if they would ever have enough money to retire.
Everything you can't do now is just another freedom taken away.
RE: Out Playing without supervision: ___Near Halloween (at about 10 years old) I would get a bunch of friends together at night (on our bikes), sneak into this large Boston Area Cemetery and we would cruise all over the scary roads of mausoleums, rats running by, rustling autumn leaves and strange unidentified noises. I was always the bike in the front as I had a generator light on my English "Raleigh" Colt bicycle. All through the ride I was exhilarated and terrified at the same time.
I sure miss the newspaper I love to read it with my morning coffee
I still have my 8-track I have to stuff a look matches under the tape for it to play proper🤣
Speaking of checks; Target will no longer be allowing them starting the next week. While I think that's a tad too soon, the fact they will now be denying checks is not surprising.
There's no need for a check though if you have a debit card. It's basically the same thing.
Had an Old lady paying with a check in front of me at the checkout.Funy
wikipedia reliable ?? you are silly
I have an old printer that uses a ribbon ink cartridge similar to a typewriter and requires fanfold paper.
I was born in 1962... I've no clue how I survived til adulthood.
I was born in 79 and same. Lol
Even with you pointing out that drive-in movie theaters are not so commonplace anymore, I still think they're disqualified as there are people who can still legally go to these locations.
Too bad we sacrificed safty and security for our freedoms 😢
i was lovin life in the 70s so thats where my mind is at and im not Changing my state of mind !!!
This makes me feel really old!
I fear we are safety concerning ourselves into extinction. If you wonder what I mean, listen to the early 70s song "2525".
After this video im gonna listen to that song
The only place you can get away with Hitchhiking is in Japan.
Hence why Digimon Adventure 01 has a scene of the main characters resorting to hitchhiking. The random stranger they end up with was changed to being a relative in the Saban dub.
People hitchhike in Alaska. Not everyone has a car, but sometimes you need to get around by car. People will give eachother a lift because it might be hours until another car comes along. Everyone I know hitchhikes in Alaska.
Hitch hike in canada.
I sure do miss the 70,s and the sears catalog "AKA" the school boys penthouse.
Take me back to normal times. 2024 sucks....
I would be in prison today for things I did legally in the 70's as a teen and growing into a young adult.
Not to mention with computer keyboards there are different types of switches.
Although thankfully Apple's Butterfly switches are basically extinct in favor of the Magic keyboard.
Still no seat belt law in New Hampshire if you're over 18, no helmet law either.
I grew up in the late eighties and early nineties and this was all true then as well.
So i have heard plastic waste is returned to China and they have it.
Remember phone pagers?
Such fun!
I didn't wear a seatbelt until the 2000s
I dont watch tv no more nothing there . i just pay 200 dollars a month for my wife to watch 1 channel lmao
watching tv at that time and missing it. that the vcr came after then the OTR by your cable or dish. then the steaming now. its kinda true but ya missed a time jump in it
"shtreaming" is not a word.
Flying TWA all the seats in the back were smoking; ash trays in all the arm rests. Thumb a ride because yellow cabs were too expensive.
payphone is extinct like dinasaurs , get it !
How about another one... The concluding message on documentaries, such as "Thank you for watching this documentary, I hope you enjoyed...." rather than these abrupt endings such as this one that I'm seeing way too much of lately.
Another problem with today's cars with electric windows. You cannot raise or lower windows once power is compromised in anyway. I lost power due to a failed alternator which drained the battery. Couldn't roll up my windows, raining I had to leave the car and walk to call road service( forgot cell phone at home). Got back in time to realize facts. Stereo and other valuables were gone including the dead battery. Seat is soaked. Towed to garage. 😮
Yeh, modern technology means you can't roll up your window to lock your car if you lose power nor roll down your window if your submerged ie: accident. Say buh bye.
Was that Peter North smoking? Not that I know who he is😳
Reading newspapers can still be done. Heck, I read those newspaper comics in the 2000s.
That said, I'm not crying over the coming extinction of newspapers. They're not that much more truthful than news channels and some official news online sources. Not to mention their extinction will result in less trees getting chopped down.
True but there was nothing like the Sunday funnies and the mag section at the time!
With all the vapes now you still can't breath fresh air. All this vaping going on smells like chemicals in the air.
Drip drip drip. Less free…
In the 70’s we could eat fast food and actually lose weight!
June 1986 in Canada you could smoke on.the Airplane.
August 1997 Edmonton Alberta Canada had 2 Drive Ins.
Oct 2005 you could still board an International Fight in Canada or the USA with.just your Drivers Licence.
Watching cartoons based on a TV schedule; while on the decline, has not yet entered true extinction. Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Toonami, and Adult Swim still have their TV blocks.
Still Drive Without My Seatbelt What Of It.
Not seat belts they are death belts. I had a severe accident when i was 16. If had a seat belt on i would be dead. Had friends alive cause they never had a death belt on. Know people that wish dead after death belt left them so injured the stuck in a wheel chair for life
In the early 1980s, two beautiful young woman were murdered after hitchhiking in California
Plenty of horror stories in the 70's, why I wouldn't when I was young, I'd walk first. Offered a ride from someone I didn't know thanks but no thanks.
Soooo glad i wasn't born till the 90's. Most if not all things in the 70's still sucks, disco sucks, polyester leisure suits suck, bell bottoms suck, the big collars with gold chain sucks, not bathing sucks, & hair pieces (toupees) suck.
You are beyond help.
@@mikebaker9574 no one asked your opinion. The 70's clearly sucked except for Led Zeppelin, Leonard Skinnard,
The 70's were should be an embarrassment for all the old outdated people born during that area.
Also boring.
@@mikebaker9574 thank you, I take it as a compliment especially if you are mistaken and think the 70's were cool.
There Are No Proven Dangers From Second Hand Smoke God
Your A Cry Baby.
That thumbnail is from the fifties.
The 70s was a decade when the feminist movement really took off, securing abortion rights, fighting like Hell for equal pay for equal work, getting cops to start responding to spousal abuse instead of treating it as a man's right as "head of household", securing the right of a women to apply for a credit card in her own name, and all the other rights and degrees of respect many young people don't realize their grandparents battled for in the trenches.
Applying a thumbnail of a servile "happy homemaker" of the 50's is rather insulting for a woman of the 70s.
