In computing, "1970" is often associated with the epoch time, commonly known as Unix time or POSIX time. This is a system for tracking time in many computing systems, where the epoch is defined as 00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on January 1, 1970. Unix time counts the number of seconds that have elapsed since this epoch, not counting leap seconds.
