@NoName-jq7tj It is their youth that people hanker for. When all is said and done, the principle of life is the same in every era: we all have to work for our living and there are good and bad economic times in every generation.

@levelofsnipes7378 Yet I find things better now. For a start, the economy is so much better now. Also, Internet is available nowadays,which is a great help. People complain about having to work from home or conduct meetings on Zoom during the coronavirus pandemic, but if coronavirus had struck in the 1970's, we would have been in far bigger trouble, as the technology to work from home had not yet been invented and children who had lost so much education because of coronavirus would not have been able to get it online, because there were no desktop computers or Internet and the libraries would have been closed.

In every generation, there is someone who complains about "conversation-killers." In the seventies, it was television. Today it is the computer or mobile phone. Shame really,because the latter two are also informative, I.e. information at your fingertips.

The title is somewhat misleading: there WAS television in the 1970's.

@DeeJay003 Yes,but many young people with underlying health conditions would have also died of coronavirus unexpectedly and people would have wanted to know why.

@shabbos-goy9407 The fashion of the time was terrible: long-haired men and filthy jeans.

@elvisonwax Doing dance in your knickers because the teachers thought that a skirt would get in your way (and in a mixed school.) Did not think of suggesting shorts for the pupils.

@anthonymitchell8893 What do you expect from a long-haired git of a teacher? His parents could have been racist.
