In 1970 your TV was full of vacuum tubes and you fiddled with an antenna to make the fuzzy images broadcast over the air come in better.

Your phone was plugged into the wall and it had a rotary dial on it. All you could do with a phone was talk or listen.

Your car likely had bench seats and no seat belts. You rolled down the window with a crank and you turned on the high beams with a kick button at your left foot.

A portable calculator cost as much as a color TV and a powerful computer filled a large room.

The only area of technology that failed to progress from then to now is space travel. We could fly to the moon and back for five years before the space program curiously reverted back to where it was headed with the Gemini mission - nothing but endless trips around the planet in low earth orbit for the last fifty years.
