16 Everyday Things Turning 50 Years Old In 2018

by Zack Walkter

Published February 7, 2018

It was a year of turmoil and change. It was 1968, one of the most explosive years of the 20th century. It was a year marked by a number of major historical events — political assassinations, the tumultuous Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the ongoing debate over the Vietnam War. There was a revolution in pop culture, too, with the rise of hard rock and protest music, not to mention mind-bending science-fiction films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Planet of the Apes.

There was also a lot of inventive stuff making its debut on the marketplace. The computer age was getting underway. Fashion and furniture were getting funkier. Science was making modern living more convenient.
