    Half of these are still in use simply because some people think they’re cool, or when someone prefers to not have to rely on technology (e.g. paper maps don’t run out of electricity while you’re on a long hike).

          The good part - there were ADS everywhere. Lots of stuff was really free. But it was slower.

            Realistically, if old equipment still worked then people wouldn’t necessarily just get rid of it as soon as something new came out. I’m not that old and the only 2 things I haven’t used were rotary phone and mix tape (assuming CD mix ‘tapes’ and personally recorded stuff on tapes also don’t count)

      I’m 37 and only about 16 points.
      I didn’t ever use a typewriter afaik, nor a rotary phone.

      I was in the era of aol addresses but my first email was when I got into the Gmail beta 😎

      Sadly I need to extricate myself from Gmail

        I’m 38, I scored 20 points unfortunately. I only used a rotary phone because my grandmother had one and she also had a typewriter that I’d fuck around with for fun… never used it to write my dissertation for a PhD or anything like that.

          Almost 40, 20 point gang

          I’ve used heaps of typewriters. My mum had an antique one when I was growing up that still worked and I loved it.

        I’m 31 and I scored all 20, assuming last is phone book. Although I only trained in typewriter, never actually sent anyone a letter. Although I did type a contract for my dad so I guess that’s a real use case. All 20 then.

    Never had VCR, AOL or phone bo. Don’t think AOL ever was a thing here anyway, it was Sol or Kvasir and then Hotmail. The rest my 37 years have included.

    Luckily we didn’t have AOL emails where I lived.

    But checks? Still use them, they’re dead useful for school stuff, sport events for the kids and so on.
