I really wish i was alive in the 1970s and 80s in america, those times are my favorite because of the fashion and "Groovy" stuff. everyone back in those days were so cool because of the cars, i also really like everyone back there because there was practically NO law. i was born in america in the 21st century, and i think the fashion these days are just remakes of the 70s and 80s fashion and with actual laws. if only there was such things as time machines.
What I remember from the 1970's was being incredibly poor. We got our clothes from the Army-Navy store, CPO jackets, used army clothing & boots. Our jeans, t-shirts, flannels came from the thrift store. The 70's were a damn depressing time, the 80's got much better.
@tutorturtle You can't judge the 70s by your own experience. I had relatives who lived all over the country through the entire 70s never heard one complaint. The 80s introduced crack cocaine, AIDS epidemic, Afghan War, Iran Contra Scandal, Libya, Central American conflict, political correctness, and say no to drugs campaign which failed, and cocaine gang wars. It did have it's good points especially from 1980 - 1985.
@chroniclerofthe70s What the hell?!?I'm supposed to judge my life by YOUR experiences? Or Your relatives experiences? DUH! Repeat your own post aloud to yourself and see if it makes any sense, because it doesn't. Second; the topic is the 1970's not the 1980's. Finally, Whether you were into drugs or not, the 1970's was a vast wasteland, as in the Who's "Teenage Wasteland", off the "Who's Next " LP. They didn't write that song in a vacuum. But if you weren't there, I don't expect you to get it.
@tutorturtle I don't have to. The average experiences are what matter, not the experiences of a small fraction of the population. Teenage Wasteland came out in the early 70s and was about disechanted British teenagers and hippies. I was their, the U.S. is a relatively large country and I traveled across the country . I lived through the entire 70s. Of course there were drug problems in the 70s, but it was benign to the drug problems of the 80s,90s, and today. You brought up the 80s, duh.
@chroniclerofthe70s Since 1967 (Tommy, the rock opera) The Who sold orders of magnitude more records in America than the UK, if you think they didn't have their major market in-mind when composing their songs in 1973, you've been cloistered. To think that the aggregate experience makes an era, simply shows how little you've gotten around, be it in the street or in halls of higher education.
@tutorturtle Do you have any evidence to support your claim? Your statement shows you have no grasp of statistics. To deduce whether your claim has validity requires that it be at least statistically significant. I hold multiple university degrees. So much for your critical thinking skills. Your whole perspective is narrow and simplistic. Most academics would likely laugh at your conclusions. Aggregate doesn't equate to average, fool.
Does anyone actually care what academics think, other than other academics?
So, if one's life experience can't be statistically distilled, they didn't happen? I see now that you're either a Trust Fund baby, or long retired: the only two groups that lived through the 70's and didn't think it sucked out loud. An incomplete list of 1970's epic fail: Consumer electronics, automobiles, textile, leather & wood mills, the military, politics, entitlements, the economy, gas prices... where were you?
@tutorturtle Yes, the Military. Who do you think developed the internet, moron. It was mathematicians, physicists, programmers, and electronics engineers. It was funded under ARPA which became DARPA.
You're full of shit. The 70s introduced the microprossessor, scientific calculators, MRI, CAT scans, PC, digital voice processors, laser printers, all still in use today. It also introduced the F-14, F-15,F-16, B1A-Bomber, and Halve blue F117 prototype with fly by wire control, fool.
@chroniclerofthe70s I worked on almost everything on your list, still do, I worked for the very (university) who built the what would eventually become the darpanet. the 70's still suck, who, would want to go back to that? except maybe for the music. You still haven't answered me... What were YOU contributing back then?
@chroniclerofthe70s I work for the university that developed darpanet, these gents were mostly retired by the time I started, but Ken Olson of DEC was one, and he's also long out of the game these days. I would be long retired myself, had I been senior staff in the mid-60's.
@tutorturtle Stop embarassing yourself. You didn't mention one individual who actually ran the project, their positions and which universities were involved. Nor did you state any of the individuals who contributed threads. The development of ARPANET was a collaboration of universities, corporate expertise and the government. Ken Oslon, may have contributed to the project, but no he is not among them. If your truly interest in the development of ARPANET, start with J.C.R. Licklider.
Respond to this video...I don't believe you were around back then, I think you merely digested statistics. I lived the 70's, I was working to feed a family during those difficult times, you giving me crap about my life not fitting your statistical model tells me you're the one who's full of it. A professor once told me "Don't surround yourself with textbooks so high you can't see around them" You can't see the forest for the pulp. '
@tutorturtle I was a kid and a teenager in the 70s. You must have lived in some city because you definitely didn't live out in the country where a majority of the population lived and still does. What one makes a claim as to what a period of time was like, anecdotal evidence which is what you presented is meaningless except to those individuals. You worked on the ARPANET project and you have no grasp of freshmen level statistics, that's laughable.
@chroniclerofthe70s most people live in the country??? which country? yeah I work in the city, where most people live. you're not providing evidence you experienced "stagflation", or you owned any of the horrible Americans cars, & tv's, stand in a gas line for hours? owned a car that wouldn't run on unleaded gas? how many people you know lost their mill jobs? there where tens of millions who did. Everything you say and mostly what you don't, tell me you weren't there.
@tutorturtle I bet you all of your possessions that I did. So you lived in the 70s. Alright, name a national grocery chain store that existed through the entire 70s that no longer exists today? Name a national chain clothing and materials store that no longer is in business? Name a national chain sports store from the 70s that is no longer in business? I bought items in these stores throughout the 70s. If you lived the 70s you should know these. There were several but any one of them will do.
@tutorturtle I knew you weren't going to know them. That because those who lived in the U.S.A. back in the 70s then would know all of them. You didn't answer any of my questions. I'll give just a few just to prove the point. Woolco and Kroger. I know many things from the 70s that aren't in any website or in any book. You shopped at a drift store. I used very cheap sport tennis shoes in grade school, they were very common throughout the U.S. I'll bet you can't describe them to me?
@69sammii94 The 80s introduced crack cocaine, AIDS, Iran Contra, east west coast gang wars, political correctness, closed campuses, and dress codes. The first half was the 80s was good, 70s were better.
The 70s, no AIDS epidemic, no political correctness, open campuses, no dress codes, great movies, great music, great TV shows, Drive Inns, PCs, arcades, home video games, VCR, Video disc players, Sony Walkman, Giant size comic books, magazines like Heavy Metal, Eerie, and Curtis Magazines.
