Are we supposed to add it? That's all I can figure out or is this supposed to be a rhetorical game? I'll chance that we're supposed to add it. +1 rotary phone +1 CD +1 fax +1 dial up +1 phone book +1 postcard +1 paper map +1 dictionary +1 paper cheque but not for a long time now. I got a 9 so what does that mean and no-one had better say it means I'm old because I know that's what my cheeky daughter will say.

At school I looked up a word in the dictionary but I don't own one. I don't think my mum does either. I have listened to a vinyl record at my grandparents house. I think that means I have a 2.

It's the reverse - you get points for the things you HAVEN'T done. So you have 18. For me, I have two - never used MySpace and never used AOL.

Same with Tati - it's the reverse, you get points for the ones you haven't done. So 20-9 = 11. I guess the game is lower the number of points, the older you are. It's like golf - you want the lowest score, right?

You give yourself points for what you Haven't done, not what you have.

Am I the only one to notice that Kat asked the questions but hasn't given an answer? Is she waiting to see just how old the rest of us are?
I still have an AOL email address. What's wrong or old about that?
My score is one. The only thing I haven't done is the Myspace account. I was far too busy with working and raising babies to care about social media when Myspace was a thing. I think Myspace came out about the same time Scarlette was born. 2003? I have a Facebook account that I share with Rosie but it's only used for sharing pictures with her family in Georgia. The only reason you find me on a forum is my daughters. I'm not a social media kind of person.

I had both a Prodigy and a Compuserve account, but never AOL, no matter how many CD-ROMS they mailed me.
I also have had a yahoo email account since the late 1990s, and it's just my surname @ yahoo.com.
I can think of other things that you could add to this list:
- Had a black and white television - Rented a movie from a store - Used a telephone answering machine

Why don't you all chip in and get a marquee that blinks:
I Am So Very Old.
