1970s Things That Kids No Longer Do!

Kids today have no clue how what kids used to do for fun in the 1970s. Everyone was their own stuntman. Many of those things have either become illegal or socially unacceptable. In this video we will take a closer look at 1970s things that kids no longer do!

I was a 70s kid, but I need to relate a more-recent story. About 15 years ago when my son was 10, he rode his bike to a neighbor's to play. The mom said "didn't your dad teach you to wear a helmet when you ride your bike?" He replied "no, my dad taught me not to fall off my bike."

I was a 70s kid. It was a privilege to grow up so free and without the weight of technology holding us down.

I grew up in the the 70's, and we actually had fun, no phones, no internet, no cable and no social media. Social was done in person. I'd go back to living like we did back then when life was simple, in a heart beat.

It is AMAZING how you summed up my childhood as a late 70-early 80 kid. Kids could never hack it now. It made us very strong people

I feel blessed to be a 70s child. Those years taught me so much about what's really important in life .

We all wanted to be Evel Knievel, being outdoors til dark running the woods, playing in creeks, exploring rivers, and the neighborhood, spending time with friends was the greatest adventure ever!

I was born in 70' . Being a kid in the 70s and a teen in the 80s was awesome. They were magical times !

Saturdays in the 70s for a kid was amazing. You go to school during the week. And at the end of the week you know Saturday morning would mean a big bowl of cereal, cartoons all morning, and then go outside and ride your bike and play all day. Saturdays to a kid in the 70s was like hitting the lottery, going on vacation, and retiring from the workforce all rolled up into one.

Thanks for reminding me of happier days... wish our kids today could experience the 70s again.

I'm Australian. Grew up in the 70s. Everything in this video was what I remember from my childhood. Very enjoyable to watch.

I was born in '65. I got a little emotional reflecting on how life use to be. Going to the Drive-In with my family was major. Good manners and being nice and kind was in order. Music was clean. The world was a different place.

Life was simpler and people were defiantly much more happier in the 70's.
I miss the good ole days.

[paulandbarbie]

Yep, I'm a 70's child, enjoyed the trip down memory lane. The Sears Christmas Wish Book was the best! The good ole days
