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.

• 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)

2 or 4 depending on how strict you are.

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.

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

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

I actually plan to buy the latest print encyclopedia I can find. Just in case. Fuck them trying to kill everything good on the internet.

4 points, am 35.

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.

21. Used the old broken 19" TV as a stand for the new, smaller, sleeker 19" TV.

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

Never owned an encyclopedia.

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.

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

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.

3, I'm in my 20s btw

Only 3 🥲

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

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