Take your time and think of 12 items that we have now but were not available to us in the 70's.
For example: Mobile phones, CD players and of course PC's, enjoy.

Hmmm, good question :D
How about "available but not mainstream (some of these)":
Big screen TVs
Wireless Remote Controls (not mainstream)
Personal portable stereos (of course there were those tinny transister radios)
Electronic organizers
SUVs were not "everyday" vehicles, in general
Solar powered anything
Velcro
Would'ya believe down coats weren't mainstream 'til the 80's?
Polyester fleece (as popular as poly was, it wasn't fleece yet)
Most wristwatches were windup, not quartz
