In the UK, there was a tv programme called "Pot Black". This featured professional snooker players playing a singke frame on a knock-out basis. At the time, most people only had monochrome tv sets. On one memorable occasion, the commentator said, "For those of you watching in black and white, the green ball is between the brown and the blue," very helpful.
Oh how I would love to back in those days!!!! Life was much better , simple . Food was more cheaper, and clothing too. People were more happier back then. Today there’s too much chaos. Hate sadness killing and war.😢😢😢😢
I WAS that guy with a phone hookup. My apartment near Cal state had all the phone lines running thru all the apartments - I fished around until i had a dial tone and connected up.
Baby Boomers are born between 1946 - 1964. The Osmonds were from Generation Jones. Speaking of the Osmonds to have them on the list and not Jackson 5 is ridiculous. Jackson 5 was much more popular. Macrame is 70's again not Baby Boomers. 70's is another generation. This was interesting though.
Jackson 5 were extremely racist. Hiding this is ridiculous. I wonder how popular they would be if it weren't for the lying news media. But I agree they were more popular.
I worked in a gas station and e would crank out bunches of blue chip stamps to customers - they even came in different denominations and there were special days or promotions when you gave out 10x stamps.
ODDLY EVEN AS A BOOMER WE STILL GET DELIVERED MAIL. ALSO, WE PLAYED TOSSING SPORTS CARDS AND I VIVIDLY REMEMBER A DAVY KEON CARD THAT MEANT NOTHING TO ME THEN BUT NOW WORTH $$$THOUSANDS. TOO BAD I WAS NEVER A COLLECTOR!!
Are you sure the information concerning "newspapers" wasn't for telephone books. You refer to "looking people up" and if they weren't listed (unlisted) then you wondered what up to that they didn't want people to know. I don't remember people getting unlisted from newspapers.
There were mostly glass bottles and a broken one would cut a bare foot. Pop tops were rare. And normal people did not pronounce the T in often. The T in often IS SILENT!!! Only gay people pronounced the T. Rich kids had encyclopedias. They could read them while they ate their bagels and cream cheese. You know, the privileged ones who tell you about your privilege and take from you and give to others with a cut for themselves.
The pop tops shown were not the ones from the 60s that were all over the beach & indeed cause nasty cuts (tors & feet). Do better research for proper pix.
Half the crap in this video is wrong. It's obvious the person making this was not a baby boomer. For example, the "rotary dial" telephones shown were actually push buttons made to look like a rotary dial. He talks about BBS's and shows CB radios. Not even close.
if u had an encyclopedia set, your family was RICH
22:52 he meant police. we had no 911

I remember my mother insisting our phone number be unlisted cause she didn’t want sales calls.
I was 12 when they landed on the moon on 20 Jul 1969. It was also my birthday.

I took a year off in the 70s to macrame a couch 😅.

In the old black and white horror movies they used Karos corn syrup for blood 🩸

Our Five and Dime didn’t have a restaurant. But the owner was notorious for following people around the store like they were going to steal something.
I was in Vietnam on July 20. , 1969; and 20 years old and it was hell for me and other Marines in Danang!!!
You only had to rotate the 'dialer' 7 times. It wasn't until the 1990's that you had to add the area code.
Only Baby Boomers? Please! I'm Gen X, and I remember 14 things on this list!!
Tv stations went off the air around midnight and back on the next morning at around 6:00
I was freshly drafted in 1969 when the moon landing happened - watched it on the tv in the day room in Fort Polk, La.

YOU ARE CORRECT AS THE 60'S WERE BABY BOOMER HEAVEN~!!!!
God only knows how many beers I drank after dropping the tab in the can and never once choked on one.
Yeah, who wrote this? They can't even conceptualize a rotary phone.
Macro-may was something taught to bosun mates sailors who called it fancy work
Those were not "leisure suits". Check your history.
There was only one actual leisure suit. They came in bad colors too; mint, baby blue, rust, maroon, cream, goldenrod, etc.

Still read the paper every morning.
Breaker 1 9 there, good buddy - got any smokies out there?
10-4 good buddy.Just passed one at mile marker 19 and there's another bear in the air.
Contrary to what you might think this video did not require 'music'.
