I own a balance scale, I was getting sick of dying batteries in modern ones
Email?
Clothing probaby. Admittedly, it's a bit more advanced than simple animal furs. I also have a knife, but again, probably a touch better than a sharpened piece of flint...
I love an automatic mechanical watch. Still use CDs. At work I occasionally need to use 3.5" floppy disks. Still read paper books.
Newspapers, online news is an echo chamber of personalized content
I listen to radio
Lenovo Thinkpad X200t by your intended meaning. I don't know if my Meade ETX-60 is older... might be... I haven't checked date codes or anything, but I have several microprocessors and discrete logic chips for breadboarding. Probably, the oldest is a tossup between Z80, 6502, 8088, 6800, 68k, or some CD4000 series logic. Maybe a few of my 74xx chips are older. I have a little bench power supply that was made in the 50's somewhere in my closet. I have a Wander bike my family put in storage that is from the 40's or early 50's.
My clock radio alarm is from the late 80's, I guess. It was my Dad's before and it still works fine.
I still use clippers bought in 2015
I got a rock I use for smashin sometimes.
Headphone jacks and BNC connectors for computing. For hammering things, a rock sometimes.
