Absolutely this, you could act like an idiot with your friends and not worry about a video of it showing up later. (so many things from when I was a kid went undocumented and I'm forever grateful for it...)

#2 As a child in the 1970's, I have fond memories of going to a friends house and ringing the doorbell to see if he can come out to play. We were like happy little puppies running through sprinklers then. I actually feel sorry for the children of today. They will be never know true freedom. I feel lucky to have been born in the Summer of 1967.

I tried... but all of these are exaggerated or heavily filtered. It was exactly the same as now, elders couldn't grasp new technology, people were cruel and mean as you wlaked down the street, parents sucked, new amazing things were happening, and history was made every day.

“One big thing was people didn’t have a camera on them at all times.

If something embarrassing happened, at least people wouldn’t pull out phones to record it and upload it to facebook/twitter/whatever.”
