    A perfect zero. I have done all of those things and more that the creator of that list can’t even imagine. Things that were everyday common but have faded beyond memory, (and aren’t missed at all).

    0; am old. What’s funny is that it’s 2025 and anyone trying to get internet in Japan with one of the only two fiber providers (NTT) still has to send a fax to set it up.

    1, We never had blockbuster in NL. But 0 if any other VHS rental store counts.

    I even have an old rotary phone on my desk.

    1. No Blockbuster in Germany, and noone uses checks here.

    Edited from Europe to Germany as some pointed out that there is Blockbuster and checks in other countries
