Found a neat site called The People History. I know there are bazillion history sites out there. This is a YAHS. Yet Another Historical Site. It goes back to the 1800s and brings you up to 2013. Yeah. They need to update for the missing years. I'm sure they will.
Meanwhile I picked the year I was born and found that:
~ the first McDonalds was erected that year,
~ TV dinners appeared in the grocery stores, and
~ the first cans of Coca-Cola were sold.
Isn't that neat? The year I was born, Americans decided to start developing unhealthy eating and drinking habits for future generations. I arrived to this world just in time! 
Find Out What Happened on The Year You Were Born or the year you graduated

I was a loyal viewer of the "I Love Lucy" show.

@LadyDuck - The shows were lots of laughs but I read that behind the scenes folks weren't always laughing. Lots of drama. Also, Lucille Ball was blackballed in the entertainment industry because her husband was a Cuban. They tried to link them to the Communist party and at the time there was a witch-hunt going on in our federal government with politicians trying to root out citizens who were possibly Communists or Communist sympathizers. It was a mess! The fact that the show was so successful is a real accomplishment!

@cmoneyspinner When I was born, in Italy the TV did not even exist, it came several years later with only one Channel that transmitted Italian shows.

Can't remember. That's because there was a Royal Castle and a Burger King before McDonald's entered my life.

I thought so. I think also the idea could be expanded and made more country-specific. Most of the history related to the USA. But surely in 1955, there were lots of events occurring all around the world.
