I still have my grandmother's Singer sewing machine, operated with a treadle instead of electricity. It still works just fine.
I live off grid, so I have lanterns, a washboard, a coffee grinder, a wringer, a clothesline and clothespins, a bellows to help the fire catch in the woodstove, a toaster that's meant to be used on the hearth of the fireplace, the manual typewriter I used in high school (still works. Hard to find ribbons for it, though.)

I worked with computers beginning in 1974 and the first item you pictured was called a diskette. A floppy disk was about 4 inches square and was made from a very thin plastic material housed in a sleeve also manufactured from a very thin plastic and the assembly of the two was very flexible, hence the moniker floppy! There were also 8 inch floppy disks used in centralized computers back then.

I got most of them correct. I had a problem with the TV remote, but otherwise I was good. Im 70, so I knew them. The laundry mangle I knew as a "wringer". I worked in an industrial laundry in the mid 1970's, and we called the presses that ironed out sheets and towels, etc as manglers. We had others that pressed uniforms. I worked with a towel folder in the second industrial laundry I worked in.

As a 73-year-old, I'd like to know where the old stuff was in this quiz?
