Which 'Retro Activities' Have You Done In Your Lifetime?

My husband was listening to his favourite radio show, Dave and Chuck the Freak when they did a segment based on a survey conducted to find out what kind of retro activities and habits Americans used to participate in, concluding that you had to have been of a certain age if you did any of these activities (guilty!)

Well you don't necessarily have to be American to have done any of the following even once in your lifetime. But true if you did more than one of them, you probably are of a 'certain age!'

I've done pretty much all of them although I've never used a pager (I have sent a message to one though) and neither have I sent a telegram (although my parents did receive them on a couple of occasions - and I'm shocked to hear that telegrams are still being sent. So were Dave and Chuck the Freak!)

So which of the following have you done at some point in your lifetime:

1. Hung up a wall calendar to keep track of events

2. Bought a newspaper

3. Listened to music on cassette

4. Used a printer in your own home

5. Sent a postcard

6. Used a non-disposal camera that takes film

7. Written with a fountain pen

8. Used the Yellow Pages to find a number

9. Made a call from a public payphone

10. Listened to music on vinyl

11. Used a floppy disk

12. Used a road map

13. Made a call using a rotary phone

14. Owned or at least watched something on a black and white TV set

15. Written a cheque

16. Used internet dial-up connection

17. Owned an encyclopaedia

18. Typed using a typewriter

19. Sent a fax

20. Written to a penpal

21. Used a pager
