I'm so glad I grew up in the 70's and 80's. Life was so much better back then.

[beachplumb]

I honestly miss those days. Everything was so much simpler.

The last generation to remember when people could disagree and still be respectful.

There was no remote because as a kid, you WERE the remote 😂😂😂😂😂

We stored all of our friends' phone numbers in our head. If someone called, you didn't know who it was until you answered it. And when we went on vacation we didn't have GPS, someone told us how to get there and we remembered it. We drove hundreds of miles from home and didn't have a phone.

[gregorypryor]

We remember when T.V. stations turned off after midnight.😭

If you don't stop crying, I'm going to give you something to really cry about.

Anyone remember renting a VCR? Or were we just poor?
Having to go to a store to get a movie was so much more fun than just streaming whatever you want, whenever you want. Movie night used to be a big deal

Born 1968...and we have been fortunate to see and experience both worlds.

So thankful to be born in '71. 70s and 80s was an awesome time for kids. My 17 & 15yo kids are jealous. My son loves our music. All he listens to!

[Homepageturned]

We actually played outside.
With no parental supervision.

If I had a Time Machine I would go back to 1980 and stay there. I was born in 1967, became a teenager in 1980, spent all my teenage years in the 80’s. God is good 🙏👍

Last Generation to see all television programing go off at 2am.

[mookyyzed]

I wear my 70's 80's childhood on my sleave like a badge of honor. It was the best of times.

[stevemikellides]

2 keys for the That one landed well 😂👌

[kellygreenii]

We’re the last generation where pop musicians had to actually write their own music, sing in key, and play their own instruments. Thats why 80s music is still around.

[AlysandirDrake]

I'd also add, the last generation where everything had to be cooked on the stove, because you didn't have a microwave.

[sherryj]

You forgot...
We are the last to travel using road maps that we couldn't fold back.
We are the last to travel to school by ourselves at the age of 6
We are the last to heat up food without using a microwave.
We are also the last to watch black & white tv's.
And please don't forget that we are the last generation to have commercials we couldn't skip past
