"Imagine if time-travel was a reality, and one fine morning you wake up to find yourself flashed back in time, back to the year 1970. What would life be like for a typical family... By the start of the '70s our cultural gaze had shifted away from London's Swinging Sixties, back to the USA. The hippie view of the world, with its emphasis on peace, love and nature, focused our collective attention on the anti-war and anti-pollution movements...We were fed-up with the ongoing Cold War and the draining war in Vietnam. We were ready for a new focus and a new vision. The counterculture movements of the late '60s continued well into the 1970s, as we rejected the old traditions and conservative values of our parents... Now just imagine you flashed back to a town in 1970 England. Although not all doom and gloom, the United Kingdom had found itself slipping on the world stage as America and the USSR battled for domination...The sentiment on the streets had shifted from frivolity to revolution. This mood was echoed in the fashion, art and culture of the time... By the early '70s, the Baby Boomers were young adults. Everything about them was a break-away from their parents: their music, their fashion, their values, their personal and sexual freedoms. They were non-traditional, non-conformists, anti-authority, anti-consumerist, anti-war, politically active, experimental drug users, hippies, believers and disbelievers. Anything was possible. Everything was acceptable... Apollo 13 was to be the third manned mission to the moon, following the successful 1969 moon landings of Apollo 11 and Apollo 12...56 hours after take-off, the astronauts heard a ""pretty loud bang"" ..., ""Houston, we've had a problem..."" Our love affair with gas-guzzling, pollutant-emitting cars caused our air quality to deteriorate to severely unhealthy levels...major cities regularly blanketed in a hazardous thick brown haze... When Sesame Street hit our screens, we had never seen anything quite like it before: a curriculum-based, engaging and educational children's program... The decade of the '70s saw the disaster movie genre reign supreme at the box office... By the early '70s, the fashion industry had lost its way, with designers and consumers alike seeking new directions and answers to the changing times. This was a decade without guidance and without rules..."
