0 I'm old 😆

5 but it depends if "used" is defined as actually in an every day situtation or because found an old typewriter in the attic and played around with it
Yeah. 0 points. I either aced it, or I colossally failed it depending on perspective.
18 points.
I've owned a dictionary and an encyclopedia.
Hello officer? I'd like to report a suspicious person in my retirement community!
Get off me lawn!!
1.... Only one I missed was Blockbuster. We didn't have one where I lived but I have rented videos.
I'm gonna say that counts. They shouldn't have specified a specific rental place.
1 - I never had a check book.
Late 20s - 2 points
- Surprising, because I'm Gen Z, but I have used typewriters and Walkmen.

1 point. Never used a boombox. And yes, I have written a check at a store while people waited in line behind me. Their cold angry stares still haunt me.
Three. Would have been two but I was a member of Video Ezy. I also just learned if you start a sentence with a number Sync autocorrects it to a numbered list.
fucking 13 😭

Fuck, I'm old.
I got zero.
Yes I'm old. On the plus side I still have my family commadore 64 from 1982.
1 point. Never rented a video from Blockbuster. But did rent VHS/CD/DVD movies from local chain.
- Never owned a whole encyclopedia.
But probably -1 for not only rotary phone but "party line"; sometimes you couldn't use the phone because someone else, in another house, was using that line.

I live in an Eastern European country. I have listened to music on CD, i used to own Encyclopedias and i own a copy of DOOM

Zero (born in '66). Can we add some more to the list?
21: had to wait for the television to warm up

But only because we pay in cash and block buster was never a thing here.
I have touched a type writer but never used it for writing letters or whatever you write with it.
I just sent a fax a few days ago....
I never owned a walkman or discman but my older sister had a discman and I got one of the first mp3 players xD.
I got zero points.. guess I'm old now?
I'm in my mid 20s. Maybe it's because I grew up poor and was using outdated tech when I was a kid.
I didn't use vinyl or a film camera until a few years ago though, I have been really enjoying the physicality and ritualism of analog tech recently
- ::shakes fist:: Get off my lawn!
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.
One point. I have never owned an encyclopedia unless Encarta counts. My parents owned one when I was a kid, and I used the library encyclopedia a ton. I'm in my early 50s. I'm surprised the encyclopedia is not the most common point.
