1 and that's only because Blockbuster wasn't a thing near me and we instead went to the local video shop.

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.
Two points. Wtf would I send a postcard? I also don't believe I've ever sent a fax, though I may have gone to an office supply store to have that done to a business and don't recall.

Ha!! I'm not old at all. I got 21 points!
Two because #13 and #20 weren’t a thing in my country.
Null pwang! Maybe I should consider entering Eurovision.

1 - Never owned an encyclopedia. Used one many times, owned all sort of other books that agglomerate knowledge, but never owned one.
0 🤣
Never had a blockbuster, a fax nor cheques. I can't remember using my boombox outside, C Batteries were expensive and cumbersome.
So 3 points.
I'm old, but never sent or received a fax or rented from Blockbuster specifically, we had plenty of local "mom&pop" stores.
Never paid with cheque, by the time I was old enough to have any significant amount of money (~2011) they were already almost entirely phased out

i'm in my mid 30s, live in the US, and get one or two points. i am pretty sure i've never recorded music off the radio onto a tape. i am not sure if i've ever sent or received a fax. i did record songs off of the radio directly onto my first mp3 player though.
1 point - I've never sent a postcard lol

I got 1 (13) because there is no blockbuster in my country. But I've used equivalent stores, so I guess I got 0. Did I win a price?

- Should also add the question 21- legally smoked in every conceivable fucked up place including on planes and underground trains made of wood.
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.
