expectation that everyone should document the moment for an online audience.
Entertainment Was More Physical and Social
Entertainment in the 1970s was also different.
Television was important, but there were far fewer channels and considerably less on-demand content than people have today.
You couldn’t simply open an app and choose from thousands of movies.
You couldn’t instantly stream almost any song ever recorded.
You couldn’t spend hours scrolling through short videos.
As a result, entertainment often involved more planning and participation.
People listened to records, cassette tapes, or radio broadcasts.
