10 points, though maybe less depending on how strict you are. For example I've seen floppy disks and seen my dad use them (we had a whole stack of them at home), or my mom send and receive faxes, but by the time I was old enough to use a computer or need to send communications it was CDs and email instead of faxes.
I actually plan to buy the latest print encyclopedia I can find. Just in case. Fuck them trying to kill everything good on the internet.
Ha!! One point! In yo face!!!
Sorry got too excited there for a second. I have never sent a postcard. Bought em though and rcvd them but never sent.

I've listened to music on CDs and cassette tapes, watched a VHS tape, recorded music from the radio, and at one point owned a dictionary.
1 and that's only because Blockbuster wasn't a thing near me and we instead went to the local video shop.
1 point. I've never sent/received a fax.
Walkman, Blockbuster, Encyclopaedia, Paper cheque.
I have a Walkman, but it is broken. Blockbuster never existed in my country AFAIK. Lexicon vs Encyclopaedia. Cheques are not really a thing here except for media display ("Local company donated to local sports association", Photo).
4 points, am 35.
I turn 29 in a few months and scored 2. I would not be surprised if I've forgotten an instance of using a typewriter or listening to a boombox outside though.
Which floppy disc? The one whith the sliding metal thingy or the bendy one? Just kidding... I used both :D

I mean I am old, yes, but I feel like most North American millennials would get the same.
3, I'm in my 20s btw
Only 3 🥲
1 point. I've never sent a postcard... I bought one with a shifting hologram on the front for the purposes of sending a Thank-You note. I just never got around to sending it.
I still do a lot of this other stuff with some regularity.

- No typewriter ( would kill for a real TTY though)
- Haven't listened to vinyl ( I really want to get into that, overwhelmed with stuff I need to learn)
- No boombox ( and thank god for that - this shit looks heavy af)
- Not recorded music to a cassette ( only from lack of trying, had a radio accepting cassettes with "record" button)
- No postcard ( not a big thing around these parts)
I don't understand why people want to listen to vinyl records vs. digital
I'm no audiophile, but there is a difference in sound. To me it's not enough to invest in the type of equipment that maximizes that difference, but it's still there
Plus turntables have become another niche technological LEGO set, to customize and improve until the hole in your chest is filled

Do I get negative points if I still own and use many of these things?
2 or 4 depending on how strict you are.
- Used the old broken 19" TV as a stand for the new, smaller, sleeker 19" TV.
- Your first video game console had a rotating paddle for a controller
