Aside from computers (which were mostly used by businesses and the military), technology was all analog. Long-distance communications relied heavily on terrestrial microwave relay networks and undersea cables. The first transatlantic communications satellite was launched in 1965. Real-time control of dynamic systems, including missile guidance, was done with analog computers, as digital computers were not fast enough. Huge advancements were made in chemistry, leading to the development of many new synthetic materials. Integrated circuits typically contained fewer than 100 transistors and were still too expensive for consumer applications; consumer electronic products used discrete transistors, billions of which were produced.
They didn't have as much electricity so people had many non electrical appliances. Homes in the 1960s had basically the same electrical appliances that they do today. However, fewer homes had air conditioning, particularly in northern climates, and fewer homes had dishwashers.
They lived on a smaller income and therefore couldn't use as much electricity.
Electricity was much less expensive than it is today, so people didn't need to conserve as much. Homes were not as well insulated as they are today; those with electric heat probably used a lot more electricity than anyone could afford today.
Things like fridges were around and lawenmowers that didn't use petrol but these were much heavier than current mowers.
Actually, push mowers are much lighter than current lawnmowers, because they don't have a fifty-pound engine. For some types of grass, reel-type push mowers still do a much better job. The first practical barcode scanner was made in 1966.
The original Apollo 11 astronauts were burnt alive inside Apollo 11 during takeoff because they couldn't get the hatch open when the cock pit caught fire. thAt was 1969
Apollo 1 (not Apollo 11) astronauts died in a cockpit fire during a test rehearsal, about a month before their scheduled launch date. That was January of 1967 (not 1969). The next manned Apollo mission was Apollo 7, which orbited the earth for 11 days, followed by Apollo 8, 9 and 10, each of which orbited the moon. The Apollo 11 mission, in which Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the surface of the moon, was in July, 1969.
Technology was bad back than cause electricity was no good back in the 60s they used some stuff that we have now but their was'NT as good as our tech now. Stuff like computers,phone,and Printers.
What else can I help you with?
Is man in control of technology or is technology controlling man?
Sounds like a term paper or homework assignment. It's something you must answer for yourself. But if you want my opinoin technology controls us.
