6 and I feel old.
- Surprising, because I'm Gen Z, but I have used typewriters and Walkmen.

6 points. I have never used a floppy disc, used a Walkman, blasted my music in public by any means, sent a fax, recorded music from radio to cassette, or used dial-up.
One point for the typewriter.
For "listened to a boombox outside," does it matter whether you did so voluntarily or just heard it because someone else was playing one too loudly for you to ignore? In other words, I'm either 0 or 1.
I'm as late as millenials get and I got a 4 😭 I never recorded radio to cassete, I never rented from Blockbuster, never listened to a boombox outside, and never used a rotary phone. I had the advanced technology of touch tone
2 points, fuckers!
6, I'm surprised I'm 31yo
fucking 13 😭
Zero. Born in the early '80s.
2 points!

28 and I got 1 point. I've never sent a postcard.
7 points
My mothers maiden name is punjab.
1 - I never had a check book.
The only one I got close on was I never had a chequebook of my own, but did on a couple of occasions use bank cheques for mail-ordered things.
Presuming we're counting that, big fat goose egg.
I got zero points.. guess I'm old now?
Mid 20s, and I got 10 points. 9 points if the blockbuster one does not mean blockbuster specifically
1 point.
I have never sent a postcard. Bought plenty as a cheap souvenir/collectible thing and have received some before; never actually mailed one to someone or even gave one to someone in person.
I am 40.

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.
13 points for me.
7.5 because I never checked if the outdoor music was from a boom box or not
7
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.
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.
