    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

    19/20. Only because I refused to use AOL.

      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.

    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).

    I never had my own AOL email account but I did throw away AOL signup disks and I sent email to AOL accounts… so I guess 20/20 assuming “phone bo” is a phone book.

    As for not being long for this world… there are a lot of ways to go that don’t link with being old, so I guess that checks out anyway.

    Half of these are still in use simply because some people think they’re cool, or when someone prefers to not have to rely on technology (e.g. paper maps don’t run out of electricity while you’re on a long hike).

    You don’t scare me.
    AOL never was available in my country. Check books? I’ve never even seen someone actually using one, I think.

    I will never get to 20, yay!

      According to that, I should be 53.

      That’s over a decade older than I am right now.
