The 1970s represent an emblematic decade characterized by significant changes and innovations. However, in everyday life of that era there are elements that have disappeared over time.

Check out a list of some things from the 70s that disappeared and immersed in the retro charm of recent history:

Instant photos: The Polaroid, the iconic camera of the 1970s, continues to inspire instant photography enthusiasts. Thanks to modern smartphones and digital cameras, you can now achieve similar effects conveniently and instantly.

Women without Tats.

Hubby had one when I met him.

But he a grew a beard quite a while back and hasn’t shaved it since.

I quite like the look. It suits him.

When he keeps it trimmed...

Otherwise I’m living with ZZ Top.

Excellent point(s).

My parents put a rotary dial lock on our upstairs phone. I didn’t have the heart to tell them that the cradle switch could be pulsed on and off in numerical match to the numbers you wanted to dial. It was cumbersome, but it worked.

Those old Lions teams often lost to the Colts, the Baltimore Colts.

Always wondered what if Don McCafferty didn’t pass away so soon after coming over to the Lions from the Colts.

"I don’t miss rotary phones ... but dialing with the hook was cool.

Oh, how I miss a phone that I could slam the receiver down when I'm pissed! Lol

We still have our drive in our town. Very popular.

Agree with 4, 7, 10, 15. I have all the rest right here: including landline phones (2); Polaroid with fresh film; multiple drive-ins to choose from; not just an Atari Pong but also an original Odyssey Pong console; World Book and New Standard Encyclopedias.

8 track players and CB radios.

8 tracks are gone but CBs are still around.

What about "Jorts"?

[Flatus I. Maximus]

I’d love to change the world, but I don’t know what to do. So I’ll leave it up to you.

You can still find some 8 track tapes at antique shops or second hand resale shops.

And maybe you can find an 8 track player that still works. That is if the tapes work.
