The 1970’s were known to be an interesting decade. Creative & cool fads were made, such as acupuncture. This was founded by Richard Nixon while he was on a trip to China during his presidency. Not only this, but mopeds became a new invention that everyone found to be fun. Almost everyone during the decade had one or many Vinyl Records. A big activity that prospered and is also popular today is roller rinks. This was one of the many ways people had fun during the 70’s. Families would also attend drive-ins to watch the newest movies and have time to relax. Many people also liked to collect stamps and attend typing classes, where they would learn how to use a typewriter and use it to write stories. There were also some interesting fads during the 70s. Some of these fads include Acupuncture, Mopeds, Pet Rocks, Star War action figures, and String Art. Pet Rocks and Star Wars action figures were huge “must have” Christmas presents during this time. Mopeds also became extremely useful due to the national fuel crisis. The 70s also had many sayings of their own. Some popular sayings included “Dig it?”, “If it feels good..do it”, “it's real laid back”, and more.
