Only 27 have not do, now I know am an oldan now.

Complicated headline abi confusing title!

I was active with some of the listed stuffs, and only heard about some without seeing them. Maybe because i was a very sensitive child, so am not completely unaware of dem.

I read too much TELL-magazine alot too as a child, so i saw those graphics/pictures.

To think these are the people who we are arguing with. A simple instruction and they don’t understand!

Everything except 13 and 17 and that was because i had no need for it

I never sent a post card though.

ACCESSING INTERNET WITH DAIL UP

EDGE GPRS

YET THE PAGE WOULD LOAD

BUT WITH 3G/4G EVERYTHING WILL STILL BE BUFFERING

I remember the horror of dial up. Honestly we just accepted that it was like that ( we didnt know or have better for home use ) It was slow as F.

6 points. Gen Z's will not understand most of the things listed there.

All on the list except one.

Dialup internet with all the screeching and clicking was an experience

Those phones that the dial rotates. You will put your finger on 3 roll it to the end. Then next digit roll it ( rotate it) then it rolls back. You do that till you've dialed all the digits of the phone number you want to call.

you've not done all(allegedly)
nor be by old age
people de wen them born 1970 them still never do 70% of that list

1. A Rotary phone.My aunt worked as a telecommunication operator from the 70's till her death in 2008. I spent most holidays at her villa and enjoyed the free units that was ascribed to workers..

2. Floppy Disc. I bought my first PC in 2002. Cost me about 2000 US dollars equivalent. Needless to say my PC had no USB drive..

3. I had a passion for short stories and instead of writing I preferably typed them on a small typewriter I collected from my aunt in 1998. A portable Royal piece in a small box that I could conveniently carry about and feel like a diplomat

4. In 1997 while in high school I was promised a film Camera by an older cousin in Belgium. Despite all the anticipation it never arrived. I eventually bought mine in 2002. A brown kodak that took some pics that I still possess

5. My first CD was the R Kelly Album TP2.com. I bought it in 2001 on the Streets of Yaoundé for 2000frs CFA. I can still sing every tune on that plate.

6. A cassette tape is what we grew up with. Everyone born in 1979 listened to it while growing up..

7. Turn tables was how we refered to the radio sets that played the vinyl tapes. My father had a huge collection..Tokoto Ashanti, Joe Mboule, (All Cameroonian musician) Jim Reeves. We still played them well into the early 90's.

8. I bought my first cassette Walkman in 92. I was in form 2 in a boarding school. Walkman were trendy and cool then. The downside was the cost of batteries. By 2001 I bought a CD walkman with a rechargeable battery..

9. Bluetooth movable speakers have completely revolutionise home music, with some offering night club quality sounds. I just bought this new house and enjoy sitting outside the gate and humming to good tunes as I count those on the street

10. I wonder what became of my LG VHS player..My father an Agricultural engineer bought his in 1986. Good Old Days of Indian and Chinese Movies. Our first Naija VHS was Jaguar, then Lynx of a lady Awa who died and resurrected..

11. I first used the Internet in the year 2000 in the town of Yaoundé at the World Bank library. Each participant had 30 free minutes of fast satellite connection. Around town though most Cyber Cafes offered dial-up. By 2006 I had home Internet and it was dialup

12. My aunt as a telecom worker had hundreds of free minutes of phone call. We would sometimes go through her phone book telephone directory dial random numbers and say trash...

13. I wonder how post offices make their money these days. In the 90's I had a penpal in the UK and mailed my first post card

14. Form Five Geography lessons came with Map reading as a topic that carried 30 marks for the GCE. 1994 we used a paper map while on a field trip to scroll around a small town we visited

15. I went to a boarding school where text books were offered by the school as part of the huge fees. I had an Oxford Advance learners at 11 years

16. The Animal Kingdom was my first Encyclopedia. A huge colourful book with detailed images and in-depth of our animal Kingdom. I do own at least 60 Encyclopedia at the moment

17. Before ATM cards became trendy a check book was the most convenient form of payment. Filling out the details, signing and cutting with an aire of bourgeois. I had my first current account in 2001 with a check book issued for payments..

How can you have 12 to 13 points and be a father of many? It says what you haven't done not what you've done.

I read that wrongly.
