24 Images Showing What Life Looked Like In The 1970s

When comparing modern days to today, the 1970s might seem like a totally different place to some folks. The 1970s began about 55 years ago, which isn't all that long ago, relatively, but the people, the trends, and the technology especially are so much different now. It's pretty interesting to take a look back at what life and society were like all those decades ago.

The 1970s were an important and pretty revolutionary time. There are tons of important people and major events that happened during this decade. Aside from that, though, the overall vibe was funky. The colour schemes were interesting and the style was unlike any other. It truly was a unique time.

For those who want to embark on a journey to the past, or for those who want to learn more about the 1970s, here are 24 photos taken straight from the '70s and the things that happened during it to provide some nostalgia.
