    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

    Online banks, search engines like Google

    Businesses using fax machines or the Internet or digital answering machines

    Apple stores
