'Hollering through the house to your sibling, 'IT'S STARTING!''
Older People Are Revealing What Younger People Get Completely Wrong About Past Decades, And I Was Shocked By Some Of TheseEven though certain decades are known for specific trends , they may have been completely different from how they appeared on TV or in movies. So when Reddit user,"Older redditors, what do young people get completely wrong about past decades?," people had plenty of thoughts on the matter.
"Just how little people knew what they were missing out on. If it wasn't on network evening television or on a store shelf in your town, or in the Sunday newspaper...it simply didn't exist for you. If you had an inkling something existed — say, tinfoil that comes in sheets instead of one giant roll — you could go around asking people, if you wanted. But you were more than likely to just get a shrug and that's it.
"It was a different era with far fewer distractions and much more time for sustained imagination. Being in a different place and time, we developed different skills for interacting with the world and one another than young people do today. "How common drinking and driving was. Until Mothers Against Drunk Driving came along, people did this routinely. It's where 'one for the road' originated."
"How on time you had to be for your favorite shows because there was little to no chance you’d see that same episode again until they did reruns during the summer. I remember waiting anxiously for the nightly news to be over so I could watch my favorite TV shows. Commercial breaks were just mad rushes for the bathroom or to the kitchen to get something quick to drink."
"I don't think people today realize the lack of organized entertainment and lack of electronics. We had almost endless freedom. It was wonderful."
