    Hey guys, I appreciate all the comments and feedback but let's keep it constructive and respectful. To add to that, NO Ryan Seacrest slander allowed here. I know some don't like him and say "he doesn't hold a candle to Dick Clark, but I'm pretty sure he would say that himself. To be honest, I think he's doing great hosting the show to a modern audience like today, so I think he's a worthy replacement.

      The most of what technology ?
      People lived in real time then when phones hung on the wall.
      You wanted to see someone you got in your car and went to see them.
      Today hundreds of dollars for 9 oz of plastic
      We look at a pretend world behind glass and try to figure out the fastest way to get there.
      A world that is almost disconnected from reality but we still spend gazillion of consumer dollars to see it and communicate with it through little picture boxes while the real world is falling ruin and neglect.
      We see manipulated orchestrated fantasy behind glass and believe its reality.
      The same as television back then. The difference now as then we knew it was TV fantasy and a one sided conversation at best.
      No interaction with it.
      We dealt with real people in a tangable brick and morter material world.
      Today we follow blindly from behind the glass trying to keep up while paying more and more for less and less.
      Faster and faster in a quest the new resulting of Instantainious obsoleteness of not material items of technology that simply dont work anymore. Then require bigger bucks to keep up to date.
      At least in the turn of the last century or progress and declines could be shown with real material physical tangibility.

    Boy…watching this film you really get a sense of how today’s society has become so neutralized/sterilized. We’ve become a nation of shouters, complainers, and no self accountability as we check our electronic hip appendage over a hundred times a day. I’m thankful to be able to remember these days. They were very exaggerated times. There was no 24 hour news propaganda channel yet to scare the hell out of everybody. All we had was the 6 o’clock news after supper, then the 11 if you could stay awake. There’s too much readily available news today. It’s gross. We got on just fine without it years back. Thank you for recording this and posting it! It’s great to look back! It transports me back to a simpler time…. Makes me think of my parents. 😭

    The best thing in 1978 Van Halen is the self-titled debut studio album by American rock band Van Halen. Released on February 10, 1978, the album peaked at number 19 on the Billboard 200 and sold more than 10 million copies in the United States, receiving Diamond certification

    This is an amazing time capsule from my childhood. I will watch this again and again. I doubt I saw it live. I would have been sound asleep with my new Kenner Star Wars figures that I had received that Christmas '78. I always wanted to see Chuck Mangione footage from this era. My parents played that album all the time - I loved it. I came upon this video by "RUclips algorithm" accident", but happy I did! What a great time to be alive and enjoying life that was. No cell phones out. People hanging out, talking face to face and having fun together. P.S. Is beer shampoo still made? I wanna try that (and if any froth gets in my mouth as I lather, so be it). And where can I get a big medallion like Ponch has? CHiPs was my #1 show back then! Love this video!

    Last year of college...the world, and young people, were so very much different back then...we didn't have the distractions or "trappings" of technology and social media and were, thus, happy, unattached and comfortable with our status, (as we were still young and had our entire lives ahead of us). We were "present", engaged with other humans, and free from the craziness of frenetically searching dating websites for "hookups" or "soulmates" to impress our social media followers, so as to prove that we were "worthy". We got dressed up to go out on a Saturday night (didn't have to be "attached at the hip" to someone, ANYONE, of the opposite sex...we were just as happy going out with a group of friends), we were free of "body art" and "piercings", and we were not mindlessly attached to devices, so we were comfortable interacting with other humans in person and on the telephone (no texting or Zooming needed). As you can tell from this video, we were certainly less depressed, less anxiety-ridden, less "burdened by the world" back then. Sad how the pressures of the media (and social media) and technology have impacted "today's world" and the young people who must find a way to navigate it.
