8-track tapes were invented by the later inventor of the Lear jet. They had one advantage---continuous play until you stop them. (There were auto-reversing cassette players, but they were very rare.) I occasionally converted cassettes and vinyl to 8-track for background music at weddings, etc. These were mostly invented for cars, as record players couldn't play with road bumps. Of course, I also had Beta video tape machines! Smoking: I can remember smoking on airplanes--no non-smoking areas? I quit smoking in 1995---and MISS IT EVERY DAY STILL!!! Home movies recorded off the air: The first BetaMax movie I bought was John Wayne's El Dorado--and it cost just under $100. When the first Sony BetaMax machines came out, broadcasters and copyright holders, led principally by Disney and movie studios, lobbied heavily for restrictions to stop home recording machine sales as their product could lead to pirated movies from broadcast. The restrictions were defeated in Congress, thanks to Mr. Rogers and Captain Kangaroo and others advocating for the right to record to maximize the learning potential and especially, allowing time-shifting of playback to allow children to watch shows with parents at the end of the day.
Me too. I recently was very tired....I spent an en entire weekend watching the old Lil Rascals shows. I enjoyed every minute between my naps. Those videos will be 100 years old soon.

As opposed to the joy of listening to the radio which pushed all the newest releases. Not to mention the amazing DJ's from back in the day, like Wolfman Jack and in Philly Jerry Blavet, the geator with the heater, the boss with the hot sauce, playing those hit sounds from Motown. DJ's started rap before rap was a thing.
I remember the glass ashtrays at McDonald’s. I would freeze them to the table during lunch. Then watch them try to pick them up and try to figure out why they couldn’t move them. Good times.
@@wolfie498 Ice cubes! When air cools it become more dense (heavier for the same amount of volume). If that environment is sealed the pressure inside becomes lower than outside meaning that the atmospheric pressure will push it down hard. That makes it hard to impossible to move it.
I would wet down a napkin on the table and put the ashtray on top of it. I would fill the ashtray with ice. Back then they had salt shakers on the table. I would pour in salt and sit there and stir it till it froze to the table. Like making homemade ice cream. Whenever the hostess saw us coming in she would remove the them from our table.
I remember these rabbit ear antennas and remember loathing them because when adding tin foil to them didn't help the reception and the only other thing tgat worked was if you held them in a specific place or way to get the picture and it was always one of us kids that ended up holding them. 1:00
For our television back in 1960 and 1970s we had an TV antenna on our roof and had a motorized unit that would change direction of our antenna. The rotor box sat on top of our console TV.
I can remember here in New Zealand back in the 1970s, the Sunday News weekend newspaper would feature a photo of a topless female on a page . Here's Wendy sunbathing at the beach enjoying her weekend the caption underneath it would read . Don't see that sort of thing in a newspaper nowadays.
Back in the 70's Most houses and Apartment Houses had Roof top Antennas That come into the house through the Walls and To the back of the TV for the Signal. Rabbit ears were more for the hotels.
I also remember the Oldsmobile station wagon my mom had and it only had an AM radio with an 8 track player. This was in the late 70s. She finally got rid of it in 1982. 2:57
I was born in 72 became conscious almost immediately. I remember the times back then, energy of the people was much different. I also remember the transition from 70’s culture to 80’s culture. Mid 1981 is when the world started to change with the prevailing cheap drug market. I was a witness
I think it's safe to say that probably children invented TV remote controls because when I was a child, I was the remote control for my parents especially my father!! 😂😂 Remember riding right in the back of a station wagon, waving to cars and the police and the police would wave back??? 😂😂
Kinda fucked up, but I was working the desk when it was okay to smoke in the bowling alleys, and a pregnant woman asked me for an ashtray! It's weird cuz I don't remember the bowling alley allowing smoking when I was a little kid..
Before we got cable, I had to climb on the roof to move the antenna so we could watch TV. My first and favorite 8 track tape was Pink Floyd's MEDDLE album on 8tracks! I'm so sorry "Page Of Wonder" I had to stop your video at 15 mins. Because I started to disagree a little bit ❤ And I still enjoy your videos anyway OKAY 👍👍!!
A small point. 'The Flintstones' cartoon series was not shown (nor was it meant to be watched) at Saturday Morning Kiddie Television time. In the early 1960s, t was a more 'mature-themed' sitcom show and was placed on Prime-Time evening hours on the ABC Television Network. Now, of course it can be seen anytime.
@soundjudg, in the 70's we had Flintstones on Saturday morning cartoons, when Pables and BamBam was teenage. With there friends like slaprock and the other girl I forgot her name. They had a rock band 33:15
I would like to point out that books are still very useful. The internet (web pages) has a lot of useful content, but most of the time - it lacks serious quality content.
I remember going to Nevada ( state line) and the had cigarettes ladies. If you were gambling, they would give you cigarettes. Cigarettes machines, and you paid 89 cents a gallon for gas!⛽️. Miss those days 🥲
Analog rabbit ears compared to digital rabbit ears are still the same so it does still exist it's up on my chimney it's a digital antenna which is like the rabbit ears is the same thing. TVs were analogue before now it's digital but it's still the same just better quality picture. Radios we're back in those days we use our phone as a radio so it's still the same thing it's just that the idea has changed so don't say that it doesn't exist when you used to rent a VCR it's like you're renting on Netflix it's still the same ideas. The 8-track tape became after a cassette and after the cassette it was a CD and after CD it was DVD and now later it was a USB and now it's an SSD on your laptop computer or phone same thing better technology.
Back in 70's all we had to was adjust the antenna mostly on the roof, in the late 60's they were on the television with 12 channels, all you had had to to was buy a tv, but now we pay 200.oo dollars a month for tv and internet. Internet not invented back then.
I can't figure out what they are showing during the "discotheque" part. Some of it is discos, but some of it looks like a potluck in a church basement. Also, they skipped satellite dishes completely. I'm talking about the huge things that sat in people's yards.
You Kids quit messing around down there! We were playing the Saturday Nite, Folks are all playing cards in the kitchen game. " The Smoke is Posion Game, you had to crawl around in the first 3 feet of fresh air next to the floor... Oh.. the memories
Audio cassettes were not better quality than previous 8 track tape as stated. They were simply smaller and could be rewound or fast forwarded which made them more convenient. The audio quality was lacking and had to be enhanced with Dolby compression and effects to make up for the limitations of tape speed and narrower tracks.
When was the last time you saw someone flash a peace sign ✌️at you ? When was the last time you heard someone say "far out man"? Today it's fist bumping 🤜 and being called "bro"!
Yeah, you totally forgot about spirit printers like we had in school. Those things had a large metal drum and you would hand crank it and it would transfer images from sheets of paper onto the drum using ammonia liquid or liquids onto the drum and onto a sheet of paper. Those things had a very bright light that aided in the transfer of the master onto the drum and since you used an ammonia chemical it would transfer images onto the sheets of paper leaving a purple image of what it copied and of course what it copied had a very strong ammonia smell to it. I remember the teacher passed out sheets of paper and it stunk really bad of ammonia and I remember that the kids in our class tried to smell the sheets of paper to determine which piece of paper had the strongest smell. I had no reason why those kids did that because the ammonia stunk. Possibly because the kids smoked and were trying to cover up the smell of cigarette smoke in their clothes? That’s just what I believe, but I always tried to help the teacher print off the copies so that I could look at test sheets so that I could get a jump on the tests. That’s just the way things were. Have a great day, later!
Yeah, in the seventies and eighties kids actually went outside to played I'd unlike today when you go to a neighborhood and you don't ever see any kids or anybody most of the time
The title says "things that are no longer allowed," but that's not the case with many of these. As I write this, I'm listening to the part about VCR's, the seventh thing listed (eighth if you count cassette tapes, ninth if you count Betamax as a separate thing), and only one of them, indoor smoking, is actually banned. The rest are just obsolete, there is no law or rule against them.
Blockbuster was in the 80s. Cassettes were 80s also. We didn't stop smoking in public and restaurants until the late 80s. Touch tone was 80s. Same as Beta max. Laser discs that looked like records. Video tapes was late 80s. Computers were available in the 70s but very few used them until the late 90s early 2000s. Aids had more to do with killing swinging more than entertainment. Ugly clothes.80s had better clothing. Lead paint was used before the 70s . Ironically, cars carburators had fuel screws that could be adjusted to get better gas mileage. I had an old Cadillac that got really good gas mileage. The 70s and 80s had the best cartoons before censorship ruined everything.
Betamax had better quality than VHS, VHS won the battle because it was cheaper. Sony would not license it’s Betamax, but VHS was licensed everywhere so it became far cheaper and won the battle. News organizations used beta for years after VHS came on the market because the picture quality was far superior. Just letting you know. 14:44
Yep, we have them and talked a bunch of friends into using them too. Cable got way too expensive! I like a lot of the channels I get with the rabbit ears.
What do you mean rabbit ears? Here in Canada; almost everyone I knew had cable. We had it in the 60's. Furthermore the pictures of the TVs that you are showing are from the 50s. Get your dates right.
Depends on your location. People in smaller rural towns like my grandma had cable in the 60's, but we lived in bigger cities with plenty of stations & transmitter towers nearby and we didn't get cable until the mid 70's.
I love the new technology. I started watching TV when there were limited choices and everything cut off at 10 PM. Black and white TV with Rabbit ears! Only 1 TV per home! 8 track tapes, cassettes were fun! But I much prefer my iTunes as an unlimited source of so much music, at my fingertips.
Oh man! You finally got me with saturday morning cartoons!
Followed by American Bandstand and Soul Train! And the creature double features in the afternoon.
It was the only time I had control of TV. Did anyone see Baba Papa? Nobody I know has ever seen that cartoon about the shape shifting family.

When was the last time you saw someone flash a peace sign ✌️at you ? When was the last time you heard someone say "far out man"? Today it's fist bumping 🤜 and being called "bro"!
American Band Stand ! On TV 👍
1969 we had a dial ,and it would GO ," WHEERR ,WHEERR ,CLICK ,CLICK AND IF YOU'RE LUCKY I LOVE LUCY AND FOG HORN LEG HORN ❤😂
No need to waste time going over how some of these things evolved. We were there. Just stay focused on the nostalgia parts only.
My car is from the 70's and it has House power and I love my car I don't care what everyone else is doing or wants because I will not change
I have old 45 and 33 and 78 records I kept everything from the 1970 even my car is from that year
You should come out on top of any accident then.
My mom used to send me 1/2 mile to the store with $2:to get her a pack of cigarettes, when i was 6
My mom sent me and my sister
Yeah, you totally forgot about spirit printers like we had in school. Those things had a large metal drum and you would hand crank it and it would transfer images from sheets of paper onto the drum using ammonia liquid or liquids onto the drum and onto a sheet of paper. Those things had a very bright light that aided in the transfer of the master onto the drum and since you used an ammonia chemical it would transfer images onto the sheets of paper leaving a purple image of what it copied and of course what it copied had a very strong ammonia smell to it. I remember the teacher passed out sheets of paper and it stunk really bad of ammonia and I remember that the kids in our class tried to smell the sheets of paper to determine which piece of paper had the strongest smell. I had no reason why those kids did that because the ammonia stunk. Possibly because the kids smoked and were trying to cover up the smell of cigarette smoke in their clothes? That’s just what I believe, but I always tried to help the teacher print off the copies so that I could look at test sheets so that I could get a jump on the tests. That’s just the way things were. Have a great day, later!
70's he'll I was the remote!😮
Yeah, in the seventies and eighties kids actually went outside to played I'd unlike today when you go to a neighborhood and you don't ever see any kids or anybody most of the time
Why no mention that telegrams were hand delivered...and much more a part of earlier decades
I still have my Betmax tapes and players
I guess betamax and vcr were like HD DVD and blu-ray.
The title says "things that are no longer allowed," but that's not the case with many of these. As I write this, I'm listening to the part about VCR's, the seventh thing listed (eighth if you count cassette tapes, ninth if you count Betamax as a separate thing), and only one of them, indoor smoking, is actually banned. The rest are just obsolete, there is no law or rule against them.
you forgot the Video Discs that you had to flip over like an LP half way through the movie, before Beta lol
Blockbuster was in the 80s. Cassettes were 80s also. We didn't stop smoking in public and restaurants until the late 80s. Touch tone was 80s. Same as Beta max. Laser discs that looked like records. Video tapes was late 80s. Computers were available in the 70s but very few used them until the late 90s early 2000s. Aids had more to do with killing swinging more than entertainment. Ugly clothes.80s had better clothing. Lead paint was used before the 70s . Ironically, cars carburators had fuel screws that could be adjusted to get better gas mileage. I had an old Cadillac that got really good gas mileage. The 70s and 80s had the best cartoons before censorship ruined everything.
Betamax had better quality than VHS, VHS won the battle because it was cheaper. Sony would not license it’s Betamax, but VHS was licensed everywhere so it became far cheaper and won the battle. News organizations used beta for years after VHS came on the market because the picture quality was far superior. Just letting you know. 14:44
You forgot the laser disc for movies.
That's 80s
We went back to the rabbit ears about 12 years ago. lol
If anybody noticed or not rabbit ears have made a comeback.
Yep, we have them and talked a bunch of friends into using them too. Cable got way too expensive! I like a lot of the channels I get with the rabbit ears.
Wearing ear antennas??? Lmao
I still have my ear antennas and 8 track tapes
I was born 1965 and I grew up in the 1970's....
I also remember that we had discipline and kids actually respected their elders
Lame! The commentary is annoying! 👎🤮
What do you mean rabbit ears? Here in Canada; almost everyone I knew had cable. We had it in the 60's. Furthermore the pictures of the TVs that you are showing are from the 50s. Get your dates right.
Depends on your location. People in smaller rural towns like my grandma had cable in the 60's, but we lived in bigger cities with plenty of stations & transmitter towers nearby and we didn't get cable until the mid 70's.
@@originalbluebuddhawe didn’t get cable until 83
Those TVs they were showing most with the rabbit ears are really from the 50s.
Kind of ironic how refrigerators and TVs from that era still work while you go through 8 modern ones.
The "key parties" and 8-track tapes make me think, that this video is made only for USA audience.
Known as Swingers parties, or wife swapping now. Or, if you meet at a secluded place = Dogging!
Used to buy cigarettes for my parents at Cal's liquor store in Salinas CA in the 70's I can still remember where it was and what it looked like 😊
McDonald's changed their ashtrays to these gold foil things after the glass ones.
You have to put balls of aluminum foil on those rabbit ears.
When did the apartment buildings up north get cable? I left in the 90s😂
I still have my video tapes and players too
I love the new technology. I started watching TV when there were limited choices and everything cut off at 10 PM. Black and white TV with Rabbit ears! Only 1 TV per home! 8 track tapes, cassettes were fun! But I much prefer my iTunes as an unlimited source of so much music, at my fingertips.
8 track tape is how voiger stores information to send back to earth
I think you mean VOYAGER.
Why is all writing on these videos always in reverse? And why are there so many lefthanded guitarists on the Internet?
It's done to avoid copyright. Reversing the image can sometimes evade the bots that detect it.
