2 I’ve never really used a typewriter, I’ve never listened to a vinyl record. Everything else was relatively common growing up in the 90s, being born in the late 80s.

2, maybe 3. Never used a typewriter, never owned an encyclopedia, I can’t recall ever sending a postcard.

Never sent a FAX. Scanners were common place and only sent pic/pdfs by email when needed.
Never owned an encyclopedia.
nadiaraven@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Dude I sent a fax like last year. The medical industry considers them more secure than email
Bleys@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Low-key they kind of are just because of security through obscurity. Modern scammers are too busy with new stuff like crypto and phishing, and can’t be bothered with faxing.
Triasha@lemmy.world 11 months ago
One point. Never recorded a CD from the radio.
The encyclopedia belonged to my grandparents, but I lived there and used it.
LeTak@lemm.ee 11 months ago
9 Points. Can you guess how old I am with that info?
Trex202@lemmy.world 11 months ago
LeTak@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I guess then that you have gotten 0 points.
jedibob5@lemmy.world 11 months ago

I was born at the start of the '90s, and I only got 1 point.
Mickey7@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I posted this to see replies old vs young and Live in US vs Europe. Surprised that on Lemmy there are still many old folks and also how many folks from Europe are on this site.
TheWilliamist@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve never sent a postcard. Born in 1970.
__Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Yeah that’s the only point I got. I’ve bought post cards, but never actually mailed one.
Magister@lemmy.world 11 months ago
0 of course, old guys rule!
grue@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Up to 8 points, depending on whether playing with tech that was already old at the time counts. For example, I’ve never used a typewriter to produce a document, but I’ve pressed the keys on one to understand how the mechanism works.
MTK@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Only 3 🥲

i wrote a check yesterday and faxed something last month, because 1. fuck paying “convenience fees” to pay my rent online 2. fuck signing up for yet another medical portal just so i can order some fucking contact lenses
do not miss film cameras though. always felt too inhibited to take photos because i’d be “wasting” the film
floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
I am actually glad I started my photography experience in film. Really taught me to think about framing and timing before hitting the shutter

the secret is confidence, i think. lol

I got 1 (13) because there is no blockbuster in my country. But I’ve used equivalent stores, so I guess I got 0. Did I win a price?
madjo@feddit.nl 11 months ago
1 point because cheques have always been rare in my country.
2 if you are strict with the Blockbuster thing, we had Videoland instead but I have rented video tapes from a video rental store like Blockbuster.
Korne127@lemmy.world 11 months ago
- Sent or received a fax
You clearly do not live in Germany
AntiGuide@feddit.org 11 months ago
I will implemented a service that will rely partly on faxing documents into a new web app this year.
Bahnd@lemmy.world 11 months ago
14…yall know half this shit is still valid or required.
Paper checks and faxes are still in use and Japan got rid of floppy disks in govt right before plague. (Shit, that was 5 years ago…)
WHAT DECADE IS IT!?!?!

Hello old friend
bazus1@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah, the hurts-to-get-out-of-bed is real.
Nusm@yall.theatl.social 11 months ago
None. Zip. Zilch. Zero.
Let’s just say that at some places, I get senior discounts. Not ALL places, but some.
Mickey7@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I am also at zero. Makes me wonder what is so relevant TODAY that will be completely out of style in 20 years
Bytemeister@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Carried portable media (USB drive).
Used earbuds/headphones with a cable.
Used a standalone calculator.
Replaced a disposable battery.
DmMacniel@feddit.org 11 months ago
Never had a blockbuster, a fax nor cheques. I can’t remember using my boombox outside, C Batteries were expensive and cumbersome.
So 3 points.
CM400@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Why is the 8-track never on these lists?
collapse_already@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
Cause it’s too old for the list writers to know about? Also, their adoption rate was pretty poor.
eran_morad@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I can’t remember whether I’ve ever sent a postcard. I certainly have received them and I remember buying stamps in Barcelona so that my wife could send postcards. Does that count? I’m either 0 points or 1 point.

0, and I’ve done 4 of these in the last year.
