"When technology brought the US into our living rooms in the 1960s, our way of life changed for good here."
I assume by saying "changed for good here" you mean changed permanently. It sure can not be described as a change for the positive. I know your affection for the old workhorse, this is just to clarrify for those under 40 who did not have the benefit of living pre USA influence.
