And would LOVE for you to share with me what the 1970 equivalents of Starbucks, bottled water, fast internet, cell phones, iTunes, Blockbuster, Netflix were.

Most people in the 70's were living in style if they had a couple of color TVs and a hi-fi, or at least a console. Nowadays some people will buy every piece of shit that Apple slings out there, no matter how often.

What was the 1970 equivalent of having the following:

A DVD player
An iPod
A laptop and/or a PC
At least one flatscreen TV
A cell phone
A Netflix account
An iTunes account
High-speed internet
Cable TV or a dish

Ummmm, yeah. A lot of people had transistor radios, and that was about it until the CB craze kicked in around 1976.


Sure there were gadget freaks back then. But EVERYONE is a gadget freak now in comparison (and for the usual people who come along and brag about how LITTLE you have, spare me your tedious bullshit. You at least have a computer and internet access.)
