25 Things You Took for Granted in the ’60s and ’70s That Kids Today Will Never Understand

January 23, 2025 by Natalie Rubinfeld

We’re all familiar with the old adage, “Live and let live.” You have your opinion, and I have mine. But the older we get, we find that it becomes harder and harder to observe the youth of the day and keep from exclaiming, “Back in my day…!” Of course, things were much different fifty years ago. That’s the nature of the world. And while some of our past traditions and rhythms were far superior to today’s status quo, we have to admit that modern-day society has enjoyed some drastic improvements (cell phones, for example, are both a blessing and a curse!) Join us as we look back at 25 childhood norms kids from the ’60s and ’70s experienced that today’s kids simply miss out on!

#1: Saturday Morning Cartoons

Kids today have everything everywhere, all at once, cartoons included. But in previous generations, cartoons were relegated to Saturday mornings, which meant that in most households across America, you’d find kids sitting squarely in front of the TV, cereal bowl in hand. These special moments are surely lost on today’s generation of kids.
