8-track tapes were invented by the later inventor of the Lear jet. They had one advantage---continuous play until you stop them. (There were auto-reversing cassette players, but they were very rare.) I occasionally converted cassettes and vinyl to 8-track for background music at weddings, etc. These were mostly invented for cars, as record players couldn't play with road bumps. Of course, I also had Beta video tape machines! Smoking: I can remember smoking on airplanes--no non-smoking areas? I quit smoking in 1995---and MISS IT EVERY DAY STILL!!! Home movies recorded off the air: The first BetaMax movie I bought was John Wayne's El Dorado--and it cost just under $100. When the first Sony BetaMax machines came out, broadcasters and copyright holders, led principally by Disney and movie studios, lobbied heavily for restrictions to stop home recording machine sales as their product could lead to pirated movies from broadcast. The restrictions were defeated in Congress, thanks to Mr. Rogers and Captain Kangaroo and others advocating for the right to record to maximize the learning potential and especially, allowing time-shifting of playback to allow children to watch shows with parents at the end of the day.

Yep. I grew up in a neighbourhood where the city ripped down the above-ground utility poles and wirings and placed them underground. This was 1980. **(Oddly, the lower lying streets, in 2024, STILL retain their above-ground utility wirings/poles. 😢) The offering was HBO, CNN, and a regional station WTBS (precursor to network stations like USA, FX, TBS, PBS, etc.) that offered a plethora of content . My childhood was ALMOST complete. Cable networks like Cinemax, Showtime, Disney followed along soon afterwards.

TVs were analogue before now it's digital but it's still the same just better quality picture. Radios we're back in those days we use our phone as a radio so it's still the same thing it's just that the idea has changed so don't say that it doesn't exist when you used to rent a VCR it's like you're renting on Netflix it's still the same ideas. The 8-track tape became after a cassette and after the cassette it was a CD and after CD it was DVD and now later it was a USB and now it's an SSD on your laptop computer or phone same thing better technology.

Audio cassettes were not better quality than previous 8 track tape as stated. They were simply smaller and could be rewound or fast forwarded which made them more convenient. The audio quality was lacking and had to be enhanced with Dolby compression and effects to make up for the limitations of tape speed and narrower tracks.

Yeah, in the seventies and eighties kids actually went outside to played I'd unlike today when you go to a neighborhood and you don't ever see any kids or anybody most of the time

Yeah, you totally forgot about spirit printers like we had in school. Those things had a large metal drum and you would hand crank it and it would transfer images from sheets of paper onto the drum using ammonia liquid or liquids onto the drum and onto a sheet of paper. Those things had a very bright light that aided in the transfer of the master onto the drum and since you used an ammonia chemical it would transfer images onto the sheets of paper leaving a purple image of what it copied and of course what it copied had a very strong ammonia smell to it. I remember the teacher passed out sheets of paper and it stunk really bad of ammonia and I remember that the kids in our class tried to smell the sheets of paper to determine which piece of paper had the strongest smell. I had no reason why those kids did that because the ammonia stunk. Possibly because the kids smoked and were trying to cover up the smell of cigarette smoke in their clothes? That’s just what I believe, but I always tried to help the teacher print off the copies so that I could look at test sheets so that I could get a jump on the tests. That’s just the way things were. Have a great day, later!

What do you mean rabbit ears? Here in Canada; almost everyone I knew had cable. We had it in the 60's. Furthermore the pictures of the TVs that you are showing are from the 50s. Get your dates right.

Depends on your location. People in smaller rural towns like my grandma had cable in the 60's, but we lived in bigger cities with plenty of stations & transmitter towers nearby and we didn't get cable until the mid 70's.

The title says "things that are no longer allowed," but that's not the case with many of these. As I write this, I'm listening to the part about VCR's, the seventh thing listed (eighth if you count cassette tapes, ninth if you count Betamax as a separate thing), and only one of them, indoor smoking, is actually banned. The rest are just obsolete, there is no law or rule against them.

The "key parties" and 8-track tapes make me think, that this video is made only for USA audience.

Blockbuster was in the 80s. Cassettes were 80s also. We didn't stop smoking in public and restaurants until the late 80s. Touch tone was 80s. Same as Beta max. Laser discs that looked like records. Video tapes was late 80s. Computers were available in the 70s but very few used them until the late 90s early 2000s. Aids had more to do with killing swinging more than entertainment. Ugly clothes.80s had better clothing. Lead paint was used before the 70s . Ironically, cars carburators had fuel screws that could be adjusted to get better gas mileage. I had an old Cadillac that got really good gas mileage. The 70s and 80s had the best cartoons before censorship ruined everything.

Why is all writing on these videos always in reverse? And why are there so many lefthanded guitarists on the Internet?
