These aren't old. I had one in the early 2010s, it was handed down by a relative because my parents were poor.

I'm Gen Z

But the keyboard is the computer, mice haven’t been invented yet and where do I plug the tape deck in?

Oh I first learned to type by typing "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs" over and over on a wireless keyboard.

Called a typewriter.

I tried to explain these ports to a salesperson at micro center, and they have me the dull cow stare.

Are these not still in use?

I've not built a tower in a few years granted, but the last one I built had PS2 ports. Heck it even had VGA for the onboard graphics.

Edit: I never used one of these, I'm just as old as one. First computers I used were a Macintosh 128k and an Apple ]|[, unless you count the TI 91-a as a computer and not a console, but that machine is older than me
