You know what’s a trip down memory lane that’ll make you smile? The video called “Flashback to 1970 – A Timeline of Life in America”. Man, what a year that was!
We started the 70s with the whole world still abuzz with the remnants of the 60s. The nation was divided by the Vietnam War, but in the midst of all that chaos, we also saw some pretty amazing things happen. Do you remember when Black Sabbath’s self-titled debut album dropped, giving birth to the heavy metal genre? And who can forget the legendary Apollo 13 mission? “Houston, we have a problem” – that phrase became an instant classic!
Oh, and remember when the movie MASH came out? It was such a hit that it spawned the long-running TV show of the same name. Speaking of TV shows, who could forget the Mary Tyler Moore Show? Mary Richards and her colleagues at WJM-TV kept us entertained for seven glorious seasons.
Speaking of entertainment, can you believe it’s been over 50 years since the first all-computer chess championship took place in New York City? And who knew back then that a gadget called the “computer mouse” would become such an essential part of our lives?
I don’t know about you, but one of my fondest memories from 1970 was the very first Earth Day, which saw millions of people come together to protect the environment. We’ve come a long way since then, but that day marked the beginning of a new era of environmental awareness.
So go ahead and treat yourself to this nostalgic trip down memory lane. Watch the video, and remember to like and share it with your friends because reminiscing about the good old days is always better with a buddy by your side.
