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 1 year ago
Dude I sent a fax like last year. The medical industry considers them more secure than email
Bleys@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago
9 Points. Can you guess how old I am with that info?

I was born at the start of the '90s, and I only got 1 point.
Mickey7@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year ago
I’ve never sent a postcard. Born in 1970.
__Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Yeah that’s the only point I got. I’ve bought post cards, but never actually mailed one.
Magister@lemmy.world 1 year ago
0 of course, old guys rule!
grue@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year 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

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 1 year 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 1 year ago
- Sent or received a fax
You clearly do not live in Germany
AntiGuide@feddit.org 1 year ago
I will implemented a service that will rely partly on faxing documents into a new web app this year.
Bahnd@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year ago
Yeah, the hurts-to-get-out-of-bed is real.
Nusm@yall.theatl.social 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago
Carried portable media (USB drive).
Used earbuds/headphones with a cable.
Used a standalone calculator.
Replaced a disposable battery.
DmMacniel@feddit.org 1 year 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 1 year ago
Why is the 8-track never on these lists?
collapse_already@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Cause it’s too old for the list writers to know about? Also, their adoption rate was pretty poor.
eran_morad@lemmy.world 1 year 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.
