1. In 1975, you might have observed or listened to three discussions/debates in a normal week via TV or radio. Today, you can observe or listen to thirty discussions/debates per day.
2. Your typical car in 1977 probably had 15 'functions'. A car today? It probably has over 400 'functions'.
3. You could have walked through a Piggly Wiggly grocery in 1975 and noted 12 fruits. Today? There's probably forty fruits, and half of them come from beyond the US/Mexico region.
4. In a typical grocery store of 1975....you probably had four types of wattage for bulbs. Today, there are six to eight color tones, at least 15 different wattage selections, and ten different functions.
5. You can be sitting on a broke farm tractor in a Georgia field....conversing with some farmer sitting in Iowa about the problem...define the part required, and then call some parts dealer in Kansas....who will hand it off to Fedex by 5 PM.
6. You can go to a on-line board and survey the 300 hotels around Tampa....looking for particular room and hotel, with sixteen qualifications. In 1977, you were looking purely for a room without any expectations.
7. Vape-smokes....having a unique flavor (like vanilla E-smokes). Who would have thought that vanilla e-smokes would be preferred.
