0; am old. What's funny is that it's 2025 and anyone trying to get internet in Japan with one of the only two fiber providers (NTT) still has to send a fax to set it up.

I got one point for the Walkman thing, but maybe I just forgot.

I'm as old as some people in this thread, I've got 20.
I have 1 point.
I never owned an encyclopedia.
If I had the money then I definitely would have owned one.

Aight, I said I got a zero, and my husband says we both have one. So help me settle this riveting dinner discussion we're having:
- Paid with a paper check - I say I have because we've made earnest money deposits via check, or down payments on loans via check. And he says "no" because the intent is using a check to pay for things like groceries. He says weve never balanced a checkbook so it doesn't count.
Anything to do with a paper check you wrote sounds good enough for me, but I'm just one random dude on the internet.

5 points, not bad
The country were I was living when I rented videos didn't have Blockbuster, so 1.
In my country we didn't had blockbuster too but I still consider the video club I used the "local version". I got one for the paper check.
At my local video club I waited in line while they were bootleg recording The Matrix. First one out the store with the tape. I memorized every line in that movie in 1999.
I did every single thing on this list.
I want a new test
My score was 4!
I've never used a rotary phone, record off radio to cassette (although I did on an MP3 player), never used a boombox outside, and I never used dial up.
Pretty boomer for someone born in '99, eh?
1 point. I never recorded music off the radio.
The fax one is funny because I do that just about every day. People seem to forget that doctor's offices still use them - far more secure than email.

Big fat zero for me.
3 points. 90s kid. The early 2000s still had remnants of a lot of this stuff.
19! (not "nineteen factorial"). I had used a floppy disk once.
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'm a zoomer and only got three points hahaha
Older Gen X'er here.
This list was basically a Tuesday for me back in the day.
Yeah. 0 points. I either aced it, or I colossally failed it depending on perspective.
I get zero points. Elder millennials rally at the landline we'll have two drinks and fall asleep at 10pm!
- My grandma had a rotary phone.
- Should also add the question 21- legally smoked in every conceivable fucked up place including on planes and underground trains made of wood.
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.
Born in 1986.. Zero 0
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.
Late 20s - 2 points
never used a Sony Walkman! so that's 1 point for me...
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.
I can technically count myself one point, but that's only because we didn't have blockbusters in France (but I did rent VHS from other places)...
