      I’m 37 and only about 16 points.
      I didn’t ever use a typewriter afaik, nor a rotary phone.

      I was in the era of aol addresses but my first email was when I got into the Gmail beta 😎

      Sadly I need to extricate myself from Gmail

    20 is a typo, it’s actually phone bō and it’s the art of fighting with a phone staff.

      I have them all, except 5 and 12. Not from the States, so no aol. And cheques were fazed(?) out really early here, so have never seen one in use. The crossover breed of XMillenial here.

        You can’t start with I have them “all”. Then put in exceptions. That’s not how all works.

          But that’s how languages work… I think you should try to read the Oxford Dictionary and come back with an apology when you are finished

    Terrible distribution of options. A good list would have a series of technologies and tools that became obsolete at different times. Almost all of these became obsolete with the rise of broadband internet in the early 2000’s, while a handful were earlier (rotary phones) or later (paper maps, paper checks).

      The point of this “meme” is for OP to toot they own horn. This selection is a good choice for that. Effective means for an ill end.

      18/20 because waterbeds weren’t a common thing here and I already had internet access and a mail address before AOL was a thing. Whoever made that list should have added usenet.

      The choices also tend to center around 2005, with only a handful of technologies that were made definitely obsolete before 1995 or after 2010.
