Well, it's true that life changed much more from 1920 to 1970 than from 1970 to 2020. The inventions and applications of eneergy came fast and furious through the early part of the 20th century, the 2nd half was mainly expansion and refinement of those technologies. Few had cars in 1920, by 1970 they were indispensible. Cars are still cars though, and you still can drive a 1970 Ford Mustamg around and be cool. You couldn't drive a Model T in 1970 and be cool though.
Music changed with electrification of the Gibson Guitar in the 1950s, bringing on Rock n Roll. Everything before was instantly obsolete. A few AM radio stations still played Frank Sinatra and he still played in Vegas, but it was fuddy duddy music. Today you can tune in the Rolling Stones on any Classic Rock station in the country and it sounds fine.
The only real significant difference between now and 1970 is computers and social media. That has changed the social dynamic significantly.
