CBS Sunday Morning had a segment, Let us praise 1962. "What's hard to believe is how many of the cultural institutions that kicked off in 1962 are still with us today."
It goes on to list a number of things like: The Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, James Bond movies, Spider-Man, and the environmental movement.
I found some others: US Navy SEALs, the US embargo against Cuba, color supplements in the Sunday paper, the world's first commercial communications satellite, the countries: Algeria, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Vatican II, Washington Dulles International Airport, the Hulk, Thor and Diabolik. David Fincher, Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey, Jodie Foster, Jon Stewart, and Steve Carell. Roger Clemens, Patrick Ewing, Jerry Rice, and Evander Holyfield.
