The fifties - 1950s -
The 1950s was a very important decade in the USA.
The country was very rich at that time and the
people were very crazy about new technology: TV
sets, washing machines and very big cars
(Cadillacs and Chryslers were very popular). The
television and the washing machine were
inventions of the fifties. The personal computer, the
cellular phone or CD player were not inventions of
the fifties
The word “teenager” was born in this period,too.
Teenagers in the 1950s were an important group,
with their opinions, music and clothes – just like
today. Jeans and leather jackets were very
popular with boys, but they weren’t popular with
girls. The fashion for girls was skirts and dresses.
Teenagers were crazy about Rock’n Roll. This
music was born in the 1950s and Elvis Presley
was the “king”.
