Well, actually, I WAS living in USA in 1970... that was the year I graduated from high school. Here are some things/places that did not exist then, in addition to WiFi cafes and hotels:
Online shopping sites (we had only catalogs, especially Sears & Roebuck, and JC Penneys)
Medical facilities that use digital X-rays and other digital technology
Auto Maintenance shops with computerized diagnostics
