Show me significant concepts implemented in today's languages which cannot directly be traced back to "things that were important in 1960-s" or seventies ;-)

"Traced back" is fine. We can trace back the size of the Shuttle's boosters to the width of the roads in the Roman Empire.

Insisting that the problems of 1960 are the only thing that matters, and MUST be solved dogmatically is not.

		Well, a lot of ideas (and I mean really a lot) from the sixties are still very relevant today, and indeed, there are also problems discovered in the sixties still waiting for a solution. We don't have to live in the past, but many "new" things aren't actually new, or are not better just because they are new.
