Only 3 🥲

0. My grandma had a rotary phone.

i wrote a check yesterday and faxed something last month, because 1. fuck paying "convenience fees" to pay my rent online 2. fuck signing up for yet another medical portal just so i can order some fucking contact lenses

do not miss film cameras though. always felt too inhibited to take photos because i'd be "wasting" the film

Two points. Wtf would I send a postcard? I also don't believe I've ever sent a fax, though I may have gone to an office supply store to have that done to a business and don't recall.

I mean I am old, yes, but I feel like most North American millennials would get the same.

never used a Sony Walkman! so that's 1 point for me...

1 and that's only because Blockbuster wasn't a thing near me and we instead went to the local video shop.

1 point. I've never sent/received a fax.

I turn 29 in a few months and scored 2. I would not be surprised if I've forgotten an instance of using a typewriter or listening to a boombox outside though.

I'm gen z but I still only got 3 points. I live in the sticks, so no blockbuster. Also no walkman, though I have used portable cassette players. And never recorded from radio to cassette. Maybe you could give me another point, because my dad had to send a fax for me, but I felt involved in the process.

2 or 4 depending on how strict you are.

Never sent a FAX. Scanners were common place and only sent pic/pdfs by email when needed.

Never owned an encyclopedia.

4 points, am 35.

Which floppy disc? The one whith the sliding metal thingy or the bendy one? Just kidding... I used both :D

1 point. Never listened to a boombox outside. I have owned a boombox, though.

10 points, though maybe less depending on how strict you are. For example I've seen floppy disks and seen my dad use them (we had a whole stack of them at home), or my mom send and receive faxes, but by the time I was old enough to use a computer or need to send communications it was CDs and email instead of faxes.

I have listened to a cassette but not a CD. It was mainly stories when I was young. By the time I was had any interest in music, limewire existed. Once limewire died I downloaded from youtube instead.

Edit: So looked it up and apparently CDs had been around for ages, but my parents bought me stuff on cassettes instead. Maybe it was second hand.

Ha!! One point! In yo face!!!

Sorry got too excited there for a second. I have never sent a postcard. Bought em though and rcvd them but never sent.

1 point. I've never sent a postcard... I bought one with a shifting hologram on the front for the purposes of sending a Thank-You note. I just never got around to sending it.

I still do a lot of this other stuff with some regularity.

Walkman, Blockbuster, Encyclopaedia, Paper cheque.

I have a Walkman, but it is broken. Blockbuster never existed in my country AFAIK. Lexicon vs Encyclopaedia. Cheques are not really a thing here except for media display ("Local company donated to local sports association", Photo).

• Never listened to music on a CD;
• never listened to a vynil record;
• never listened to a walkman
• never listened to a boombox (had to search what this was)
• never sent a postcard

36 years old. Just grew up mostly without access to music until I got my first PC. But I did have the opportunity to use a radio with a cassete tape player a few times as a kid.

Born 1992

• No typewriter ( would kill for a real TTY though)
• Haven't listened to vinyl ( I really want to get into that, overwhelmed with stuff I need to learn)
• No boombox ( and thank god for that - this shit looks heavy af)
• Not recorded music to a cassette ( only from lack of trying, had a radio accepting cassettes with "record" button)
• No postcard ( not a big thing around these parts)

Do I get negative points if I still own and use many of these things?

3, I'm in my 20s btw
