I still use rabbit ears on my HDTV and tune in the local digital stations and use it as a back up in case my Internet goes down, then I got some channels to watch. Plus, sometimes I watch the local news that way.
-
I grew up in the 60's and 70's and early 80's. I miss those years a lot!
-
we gave up green stamps for e-mail spam
-
Forget the rabbit ears - TV was Free! That's the huge difference.
-
I miss the 70s and 80s so much. 😢
-
My children were born in the very late 90's. They each had the American Heritage Dictionary and we had a complete set of encyclopedia. We had no TV or video games and they all know what the Pledge of Allegiance means. They all turned out just fine.
-
TV was free back then... understatement of the year.
-
I miss rotary dial landline phones ; durable and reliable !
-
I miss s&h green stamps. We got some cool stuff
-
Rabbit ears still work just fine on today's TVs. Even more so. Growing up we only had about four channels. Today I'm picking up close to 50.
-
There were fewer channels to watch but more on TV. then there is now.
-
On rotary phone, I once knew a guy who actually sued the Bell Canada, because he loved his old rotary phone and they were charging him for digital dialing. he won and no longer did anyone in the Bell Canada network had to pay for digital dialing
-
Wow, I forgot all about carbon paper. Fingers inked constantly. My parents got Pong (and an eye patch) in the early 70's so my younger brother could treat his lazy eye. My mom collected S&H Green Stamps, then off to the redemption center.
-
On all of our homes that we lived in had antennas on the roof. Rabbit ears were when there was no antenna wiring in that room.
-
I got a Pong game for Christmas when I was 12- wish I still had it!
-
We had a set of encyclopedias in the late 60s and early 70s. I think it was Encyclopedia Americana. I remember they were very expensive but I did use them a lot for school assignments.
-
Still and with it all... We did have a better social enviroment and i would add to all your points... We also lost a more productive youth. We craved back then the day we could turn 14 to get a real part time job and our first paycheck. All while going to school. Now is all about living from others, mostly parents way past even the so called legal age
-
I wonder if the creator of the video liked the Pontiac GTO, the original GOAT?
-
Yes I still got some rabbit ears for my old TV and it still works I got a Kodak camera I haven't used in 20 years I got a brother typewriter that I had in college that's been over 50 years now😂
