Everyone is younger than me

Almost forgot to mention "telegraph" that's another one many likely haven't used. Wow, that's a bit o' time back. And t' think I've used that method of communique as well. ...........

I did most all of the things mentioned on the list. I have listened to music on a wind up Edison, a crystal radio, and an early transistor radio. Then I listened on records, stereo records, 8 track, cassette tapes, and all sorts of digital media and players. I've used a wooden crank phone. I've pumped gas from a hand cranked pump. I first accessed the internet with a 2400 baud modem. I was a sysop for the local college BBS and they got a .edu address which gave me internet access before public access. I've seen and invested in a lot of tech that was replaced by new and improved through the years. My list of old tech used is long but I'm so old I've forgotten most of it. 🤣

I'm guilty of using the full list. I've used transistor radios, but not Crystal radios. The only place I messed with hand crank phone was in a ghost town. Called all the way across town. Didn't have any interest in computers until Steve started selling his Apples.

Yep, I used a dial-up (56K) modem for internet access, and sent faxes from my PC. I still have a tape walkman and CD/Minidisc ones. I have boomboxes (one is tape, cd, AM/FM/DAB+ Radio SD/USB and Bluetooth) the other is similar, but lacks Bluetooth and tape.. We still use DVDs and my main source for Tapes/CD/DVDs is Charity)Thrift) shops.
