Things invented in the 80s:
1) Internet
2) Cell phones
3) VCRs/recording technology
4) modern video games
5) Cable TV
6) MTV (when it was decent and played music videos)
7) Documentary programming (Discovery Channel)
8) Rap/Hip Hop - before it became awful in the late 90s on.
9) ESPN
10) HBO
....and so on. Such a great and transformative decade.

You are giving the 80s too much credit.
Thinks like cell phones, vcrs, cable, modern video games, and rap weren't invented in the 80s. I'm not sure the internet was either. Now these things may have become more popular, commercialized, and/or affordable in the 80s but they weren't invented then.

Terrible list. Most of what you're providing had their impetus before the 80's.

The internet was around before the 1980's just not in the form you see today. The TCP/IP was standardized in 1982.
VCR have been around since the 1960's RCA really lost out on that one, selling it to Sony for 25k in the early 60's.
Video games started in the 70's.
Cell Phones were also the 1970's.
Cable TV has been around since the late 1940's.
Documentary have been produced since before the 1950's.
Espn 1979.
HBO 1965
etc.
The 80's were not as good as the 70's or 60's....
Todays world is more of a product of the 1960's than the 1980's.
Most of the world power brokers today grow up in the late 50's and the 1960's. A few like President Obama are 60's and 70's.
