The 1970s brought the end of the Vietnam War, Watergate and the "energy crisis."
The decade also introduced us to new technologies - everything from microwave ovens to in-vitro fertilization.
But what do most of us remember about the 70s? Disco, water beds, big hair and mood rings.
At least one social observer thinks the often-maligned decade marked a critical turning point in our culture. David Frum, senior editor at The Atlantic, and he's the author of "How We Got Here: The 70s - The Decade that Brought You Modern Life - For Better or For Worse," talks about the impact of the 1970s.
