Nobody can give you a definite answer, unless we invent a time machine and travel back to the 60s ~

@SW-User That's true, but if anyone has a hunch, then that'll do for now

For some reason I’m fascinated with the 70s. Media materials from that time makes me believe it was the golden period. Just seemed like it had the perfect balance between advancement and simplicity. Then again, grass is greener on the other side, they say ~ @Dicey

@SW-User Well, people who were young back then. I don't know elsewhere, but over here according to them you didn't need (averagely) a MSc. degree or better to have a job with which you can hardly save anything at the end of the month, for instance.

@Elessar True, but those people who were young in the 60s aren’t young anymore. So they can’t see it firsthand ~

@SW-User But I am, so I can compare mine with their exp.

But you weren’t around in the 60s

Back to square one. A time machine would solve it @Elessar

@SW-User But they were, and didn't need a degree to basically answer the phone
