Give yourself 1 point for EACH thing you've NEVER done:
1) Used a rotary phone
2) Used a floppy disc
3) Used a typewriter
4) Taken photos with a film camera
5) Listened to music on a CD
6) Listned to a cassette tape
7) Listened to a vinyl record
8) Listened to music on a Sony Walkman
9) Listened to music on a boombox outside
10) Watched a video on a VHS tape
11) Sent or received a fax
12) Recored music from the radio to a cassette
13) Rented a video from Blockbuster
14) Accessed the internet from a dial up modem
15) Used a phone book
16) Sent a postcard
17) Used a paper map get somewhere/navigate
18) Owned a dictionary
19) Owned an encyclopedia
20) Paid with a travellers check when overseas
OK. How many points did you get? The lower the score, the older you are.

Does this require being educated enough to count on one’s fingers?
I’m passing since this survey may incriminate me!

I got one point!!! But only by default. I have never paid with travelers checks internationally. I have used them domestically though. So yes - I’m old.

I bought about 10 vinyl record albums for about 50 cents each. The music was authentic, but the typed lyrics on the back of the Eagles’ album showed a massive cultural divide… many of the lyrics didn’t match or make sense. 😄

I scored 1 but it has nothing to do with age. I was over 60 before I ever went overseas so the travelers check was a no.

I'm 56 and got a ZERO. I know I'm old-fashioned but there are a couple of items on the list I would like to see make a comeback! I always thought postcards were really cool (to send AND receive). I kept a phone book for several years and Friday nights at Blockbuster were great family fun!

I had to laugh out loud (LOL to the youngsters) at #12 - Recorded music from the radio to a cassette.
Who else got frustrated when the stupid DJs would talk through the intro of the songs we were trying to record???

6 through 10 are actually trendy things these days.
Being born in the early 90's was a good time. I experienced most all of this list but I am young enough that I grew with modern tech so it comes easy to me
