Many of us look back quite fondly on our childhood. It seems as if the days when we were young were carefree and it doesn’t matter what we were doing, it seemed to be just the thing that we should be doing!
Of course, for those of us who grew up in the 70s, things were quite different than they are today. Today, children tend to hide themselves behind a smart phone or tablet and they don’t get outside very often.
For those of us who remember the ’70s as children, we recognize that there was more than just wearing cool looking pants. It seems as if we could get away with doing almost anything outside! Of course, those days were rather reckless as well in comparison with today but somehow, we managed to survive.
There’s nothing quite like reminiscing about old times, and these 13 pictures will prove to you that the 70s were quite different.
