The most technological devices that could be expected in the average home would have been one (maybe two) televisions; a landline phone; a stereo system and a few gadgets in the kitchen.

Today, however, things have changed beyond all recognition to the 70s and 80s. Entertainment and communication equipment has exploded into nearly every home in the land in the past years and the very idea of going without certain gadgets now, would seem totally anathema to the majority of the population.
