3 points. 90s kid. The early 2000s still had remnants of a lot of this stuff.
Older Gen X’er here.
This list was basically a Tuesday for me back in the day.
I get zero points. Elder millennials rally at the landline we’ll have two drinks and fall asleep at 10pm!
Big fat zero for me.
This is basically a “are you old” questionaire.
0; am old. What’s funny is that it’s 2025 and anyone trying to get internet in Japan with one of the only two fiber providers (NTT) still has to send a fax to set it up.
1, We never had blockbuster in NL. But 0 if any other VHS rental store counts.
I even have an old rotary phone on my desk.
0
I have 1 point.
I never owned an encyclopedia.
If I had the money then I definitely would have owned one.
The country were I was living when I rented videos didn’t have Blockbuster, so 1.
I don’t know why these are asked in the past tense like I don’t still do these things.
1 point. I never recorded music off the radio.
The fax one is funny because I do that just about every day. People seem to forget that doctor’s offices still use them - far more secure than email.
I’m a zoomer and only got three points hahaha
