I was born at the start of the '90s, and I only got 1 point.
6, 7 if Bluetooth speaker outside doesn't count as boombox, because my speaker is a box and it booms, but it's not called that.
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.
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!?!?!
At least 6 and Im 31, more if I get super pedantic.
For instance
- printed out directions for my dad and he followed them
- Rented dvds from blockbuster
- kids pink typewriter that i couldnt use properly
- flipped through phone book to pretend i was terminator Etc.
2 points. I did technically "use" my dad's old typewriter once or twice, but only to check it out/play with it, not to actually write something. Have never paid by cheque. Have done all the others.

5, but only because i love to tinker with old technology (Gen Z)
I'm giving myself half a point because I've used a typewriter but it was just playing around at my grandma's house.

I mean I am old, yes, but I feel like most North American millennials would get the same.
Only one that I haven’t done is paper checks. Those weren’t really a thing here.
Of course, a few of those have come back around to be used by younger generations. There’s teens who rediscovered Polaroid and other film cameras in recent years. Ten years ago, cassettes saw a resurgence and vinyl was also selling well.

Two points. I'm 33.
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

(18) I have some dictionaries and listened to music on a CD (because some of my devices had the ability so I had to try it).
