Thirty Years Ago

If kids of our generation lived 30 years ago, I doubt they would even be able to survive. Thirty years ago, there would seem to be nothing. There were no computers, no color T.V., and no cell phones. But I believe that the item that impacted the world the most was satellites. Without satellites, cell phones, internet, and probably many other things wouldn't even work, or be present today. Satellites effect everyone, every single day, probably without even them noticing. Without satellites, some of our most modern communication would be exiled, and we wouldn't have them to this day. Satellites are also used for radios, which may be about the news, or just music or comedy for bored people to pass the time. The millions of channels on T.V. would not be present without satellite either. Could you imagine television with just 7 channels? Well, that's how television used to be back then. As a result, I think that the satellite makes the largest impact on society, because once the satellite came along, so did many other types of technology that citizens use or depend on.
