How many of the 24 things below have you done?

Missed off having to get up off your backside to walk across the room and press a button to change channel on the TV. That just blows the minds of my kids when I tell them that. nd the fact that TV wasn't 24hours and we had to wait watching the test card after coming in from school before the programmes started.
 
21.

AND I still have :-

A floppy disk (admittedly one of the fancy new fangled 3.5 inch ones. As a laugh I 3D printed a copy of one. I have also had the pleasure of using an 8 inch floppy (bragging) in a huge 'micro' computer that we called a bathtub because it looked like a metal bathtub on its side.
A sony walkman (which still works).
An Atari ST with its 10 inch monitor and 5 meg hard drive (yes that's meg).

I've also got Sinclair ZX80.
