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.
Ha!! I'm not old at all. I got 21 points!
4 points, am 35.
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.
Why are people attacking me so much online today?
1 and that's only because Blockbuster wasn't a thing near me and we instead went to the local video shop.
Two because #13 and #20 weren’t a thing in my country.
My mothers maiden name is punjab.
7.5 because I never checked if the outdoor music was from a boom box or not
Two points. I'm 33.
5 (I'm 18 lol)
Only one that I haven’t done is paper checks. Those weren’t really a thing here.
Of course, a few of those have come back around to be used by younger generations. There’s teens who rediscovered Polaroid and other film cameras in recent years. Ten years ago, cassettes saw a resurgence and vinyl was also selling well.

6, 7 if Bluetooth speaker outside doesn't count as boombox, because my speaker is a box and it booms, but it's not called that.
At least 6 and Im 31, more if I get super pedantic.
For instance
- printed out directions for my dad and he followed them
- Rented dvds from blockbuster
- kids pink typewriter that i couldnt use properly
- flipped through phone book to pretend i was terminator Etc.
I'm old, but never sent or received a fax or rented from Blockbuster specifically, we had plenty of local "mom&pop" stores.
Never paid with cheque, by the time I was old enough to have any significant amount of money (~2011) they were already almost entirely phased out
