Which factor did not contribute to the growth of the South's population during the 1970's?

Asked by Anonymous

One factor that did not contribute to the growth of the South's population during the 1970s was economic growth. While economic growth can often attract people to an area and contribute to population growth, the South experienced slower economic growth compared to other regions during this time period. Factors such as increasing job opportunities and favorable business conditions were not as prominent in the South during the 1970s, which limited its population growth.

What helps explain why the 1970s was known as the me decade?

Asked by Anonymous

The 1970s is often referred to as the "me decade" because it was a time of increased individualism and focus on self-realization. This was influenced by factors such as the counterculture movements of the 1960s, increasing affluence, and shifting social attitudes. People focused on personal fulfillment and self-expression, leading to a rise in self-help books, therapies, and new age practices.

Refrigerators

What does a 1970s refrigerator look like?

Asked by Anonymous

1970s refrigerators were very attractively styled, modern appliances that could be purchased in colors such as avocado green, coppertone brown and harvest gold, in addition to plain white. The refrigerator door handles were often sleek chrome or chrome with wood grain applique. Some units were side by side models and others were conventional freezer on top and refrigerator below. The interiors featured modern shelves with chrome trim. Some models had the optional ice maker in the freezer unit and others had an optional ice water compartment built into the front door . Almost all were automatic frost free models by 1970. Kitchen appliances were much more colorful in the 1970s than they are today. In the 1990s and 2000's, only plain white or stainless steel are the choices in refrigerators (and ranges and dishwashers) where as in the 1970s one could have matched an avocado green, coppertone brown or harvest gold refrigerator to the same color as the kitchen range, dishwasher and even the washer and dryer.

What a 1970 penny value?

Asked by Anonymous

About 1c - no kidding that is all you can get for it. Billions were minted and a lot are still in circulation - check your pocket change. I can't imagine a dealer would have an interest in buying it from you for anything more than a penny just like anyone else. The only value it could have is some sort of sentimental value to yourself if it had a story behind it. Not a lot. '70s pennies are very popular and since it is Denver mint, not a lot at all. Denver mint is the most popular. On top of that it is a 1970s coin, which is very popular. My husband collects coins, he's the one who answered this:).

How many people owned a tv in 1970's?

Asked by Anonymous

35% of people had a telephone. It would be rare for poorer people to have a telephone so it would be more likely for a wealthy person to have a telephone. Later in the years, more people got a telephone. This also means "poorer people" had a phone as well. This shows that not only wealthy people had a phone.

How do electronic toys work?

Asked by Anonymous

Generally, there are two types of remote controls: infrared (IR), and radio frequency (RF). Infrared remote controls work by sending pulses of infrared light to a device, while RF remote controls use radio waves in much the same way. Pragmatically, the biggest difference between the two is range. IR remote controls require a clear line of sight to the receiving device and their range maxes out at about 30 feet (9.14 meters). RF remotecontrols can go through walls and around corners, with a range of roughly 100 feet (30.48 meters).

Most home entertainment components such as stereos, televisions and home entertainment centers use IR remote controls. The remote contains an internal circuit board, processor, and one or two Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).

When you push a button on a remote control, it transmits a corresponding code to the receiving device by way of LED infrared pulses. The idea is somewhat akin to flashing an SOS signal, but instead of letters, the flashing LED light is transmitting a series of 1s and 0s. The "1" might be represented by a long flash, while "0," a short flash. A receiver, built into the component, receives the pulses of light and a processor decodes the flashes into the digital bits required to activate the function.

Along with the desired function, remote controls must also piggyback other data. Firstly, they transmit the code for the device they are controlling. This lets the IR receiver in the component know that the IR signals it is picking up are intended for it. It essentially tells the component to start listening. The function data follows, capped by a stop command to tell the IR device go back into passive mode.

Some remote controls can be very finicky, requiring the user point the remote directly at the component. This is due to a weak transmitter. Changing the batteries can help, but if the transmitter itself is poor, pulses are transmitted in a narrow beam. More robust IR transmitters, and remote controls with double LEDs, transmit broader beams that allow the user to point the remote in the general direction of the transmitter.

Sometimes it happens that a recliner or favorite spot on the couch does not have a clear line-of-sight to the entertainment center or television. Often a coffee table or some other object is in the way. When this happens we find ourselves raising an arm, trying to control the object "around" the device. This can get quite annoying, but there's an easy alternative.

Since light bounces off objects it is sometimes more convenient to point remote controls towards a flanking wall or even the ceiling to change a channel or send a function command. The light will bounce off the surface of the wall or ceiling and scatter. If you bounce it at an advantageous angle, the scattering light will reach the component. Often it's easiest, with elbow resting on an armrest, to flip your wrist back and point the remote up at a wall behind you. This can work quite well, even though the remote is pointing in the exact opposite direction of the component. Once you find the easiest sweet spots around the room from which to bounce your signal, you can use these instead of struggling with trying to get around your obstructed line of sight.

Garage door openers, alarm systems, key fobs and radio-controlled toys use RF remote controls. RF remote controls work essentially the same as IR remote controls, except they use radio waves. As stated, radio waves can also penetrate walls and go around objects and corners, making RF arguably more convenient than IR.

Some high-end entertainment systems come with RF remote controls for expanded remote range. There are also IR-to-RF remote control converters that allow IR remote controls to extend their range through utilizing a RF translator that basically acts as a middleman. The RF converter relays the IR signal in RF waves to get it further. The converter on the component side reverts the RF signal back to IR so the component can understand it.
