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).

• 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)

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.

4 points, am 35.

I've listened to music on CDs and cassette tapes, watched a VHS tape, recorded music from the radio, and at one point owned a dictionary.

14 points 😬. I'm surprised at the amount of zeroes in the comments.

I guess 2 points, I've not owned my own dictionary or encyclopedia. Born in 1989.

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

• 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.

21. Used the old broken 19" TV as a stand for the new, smaller, sleeker 19" TV.
22. Your first video game console had a rotating paddle for a controller

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

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

Ha!! I'm not old at all. I got 21 points!

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

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.

3, I'm in my 20s btw

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

Never owned an encyclopedia.

Why are people attacking me so much online today?
