      Technology began to rise in the 70s. Apple made its first computer, not that it looked very good but made a better version a couple years later. United States launched a space station, that was then fused with the Russian space station. Children began to experience the wondrous video games as the Atari began to distract people, even more. In 1973 the barcode was invented, and today practically everything you buy has a barcode. Boeing 747 planes (two floored planes) began to be used more which led to pollution, and air traffic control problems faces our world faces today. Before this time period cars were even more environmental haters, and were expensive. Japan and Germany however, began to make more fuel efficient and cheaper cars that everyone wanted to get. Today Japan and Germany continue making amazing cars that we use today. Technology took a "leap" in the 70s that was a turning point for how we use appliances today.
