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.

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.
1 point. Never listened to a boombox outside. I have owned a boombox, though.

Two because #13 and #20 weren’t a thing in my country.
9 points
2 or 4 depending on how strict you are.
4 points, am 35.
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).
I'm gen z but I still only got 3 points. I live in the sticks, so no blockbuster. Also no walkman, though I have used portable cassette players. And never recorded from radio to cassette. Maybe you could give me another point, because my dad had to send a fax for me, but I felt involved in the process.

Zero. Born in the early '80s.
6, I'm surprised I'm 31yo

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

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.

Mid 20s, and I got 10 points. 9 points if the blockbuster one does not mean blockbuster specifically

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.
