Did you grow up in the 1970′s? Do you remember the laid back times and the simpler times that the 70′s were all about. Wouldn’t it be fun if we could go back in time to enjoy the easygoing lifestyle that was so cool in the 70′s?
Back then if someone called you on the phone they called your house and if you were not home they would have to leave a message on your answering machine, then you would have to check the message when you got home to return the phone calls, from your land line phone that could have been either a pushbutton or rotary phone. Boy that’s a lot different than it is today.
In the 70′s a lot of TV’s had a rotary dial were you would have to actually get up out of your seat and turn the knob to change the channels or to shut of the TV. You also had to move the antenna on the TV to get the channels to come in so you can watch your favorite television shows. Remote controls for the TV were also available and it was such a great luxury to actually be able to change the channel or shut off the TV from your seat, now that was really cool and very convenient.
The stereo radios in the seventies were had tubes in them, and those tube radios had an unbelievable sound and was so much fun to listen to and enjoy your favorite music. A great addition to the stereo radio was to have a tape deck player and a record player, when you had one you could then listen to your favorite albums on vinyl or listen to them on cassette tapes. One good thing about the cassette tapes was when you stopped the tape you could easily just start up where you left off. That was pretty good.
