Elder millennial and I feel like most of these were still pretty common in my youth. My grandparents still had a rotary phone, which I recall being a pain in the ass to use, and I used my mom's electronic typewriter a few times - IBM selectric maybe? It was cool because it had a memory and you could backspace a time or two before it had even printed the actual character. 0 points for me.

Remember those machines they had when you were paying by card,
They had to place the card under a carbon copy slip, and force that plastic contraption over it,
It always messed up and just never worked smoothly 🤣🤣

I do! I think there's a local tire shop that still uses them. Insane right?

That's cool. My score is 10. Passed or failed?

There is no pass | fail. Just the score.

This is depressing, why are we doing this. I scored 100%, or 0 points rather. Wasn’t sure about 9 but no, yes that happened at some point somewhere, I remember the hassle of finding enough double D batteries. Blockbuster never came to my home country (too small) but I lived in another part of the world and they opened there, fairly sure my first blockbuster rental was braveheart. Now that’s a fun memory test, all the video stores I ever rented from. It’s a pretty long list!

2 - Never paid with a cheque, but I have been paid with cheques. I have never sent a post card either, I don't think.
I still listen to music on CD's, send and receive faxes (rarely), and own a dictionary. All of the rest I would probably not do again, except maybe listen to vinyl records.

2 Don't know what is Blockbuster and faxes were only for rich guys
