Do you do any of these things that indicate that you are old?

Asked by jca2 (16281points) July 19th, 2021

Today on the radio, they were talking about the results of a survey. The survey was about things that indicate that people are old. Part of the list is as follows:

Using cash
Getting bills through the mail/paying by check
Having fancy cutlery and tableware for holidays and special occasions
Writing lists with pen and paper
Smoking
Calling for a taxi instead of using an app
Watching actual TV
Still being on Facebook
Reading books
Talking on the phone

Do you do any of the things on the list?

I use cash maybe half the time. It depends on where I am and what the total is. If I’m in a sketchy place (for example a gas station in a sketchy neighborhood) or if the total of something is small, like a coffee shop, I’ll use cash.

I write lists with pen and paper all the time. I’m on Facebook. I don’t use different tableware for special occasions. I talk on the phone, watch TV and read books, but don’t smoke, I think sometimes talking on the phone can be easier than texting, depending on what has to be said and how lengthy it is. I actually prefer texting for details and because there’s a record of what was said, and when.

I guess according to this list, I’m old. I’m in my mid-50’s.
