Comment below with your score. Remember, it's one point for each thing that you have NOT done on this list. Tell us which of the things you've not done as well!

My score: ZERO!

I've done everything on this list mainly due to how old I am. 🤪

Thanks to @bkm for posting this as that's where I saw it first.

This must be over 20 years old, bought instead of an iPod as it has a built in FM radio. Been in the drawer for years, let's see if it'll hold a charge. Iriver H10 with 20gb hard drive

Been stumbling around the attic (finding things I forgot I had) and re-discovered some old mobile phones: A Panasonic G520 (which I misremembered as a Nokia) - originally my father's 'work' phone c1998. Also, an NEC e616 which was an early 3G phone c2003.

Actually opened this box from forgotten technology that has been following me since 1977 and was delighted to find several pages of typewritten diary in amongst bad short stories and poems from high school.
Erasable typing paper had a weird tooth and a bit of a coating that allowed one to erase before the ribbon ink dried. It was noticeable, but all corrections in those days were.

kottke.org - How Vinyl Records Are Made

I'm not sure why people are so impressed with the "human-handled" aspect of vinyl record production. It's certainly nothing new. kottke.org/23/02/how-vinyl-rec

One thing not mentioned in this article is that cassette tapes were also very bad for the environment. When I drove from Sydney to Darwin in 1985 & returned in 1986 (a round trip of just under 10,000 km), no matter where I stopped along the highway I would almost always spot some discarded tape tangled in the bushes or gravel alongside the road. The tape had most likely been thrown away after getting jammed in a vehicle's cassette player.

The article also reminded me of something I read a long time ago about a solo around-the-world yachtsman who lamented that there was no part of the planet free from pollution. He constantly saw glistening slicks of oil that had leaked from ships floating on the water's surface.

Some past technologies deserve revival, but not every piece of old technology was a boon: Why Taylor Swift is wrong about the cassette tape smh.com.au/culture/music/why-t

it's the Millenium Bug! 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ 🐛
been there... but the old Olivetti LSX we had in the office didn't care, year was two digit, so it kept going. new server was NT4, not affected and so were the Windows 98 clients.

I finally found my Blockbuster card! I better hurry over before someone rents the last copy of “Deuce Bigalo European Gigolo” on VHS!
