All of them.

Floppy discs I have used both 5.25" and 3.5" inch.

The 5.25" ones always weirded me out because they are so flimsy.

All of them

Including a typewriter in the last 5 years. My office used to have a (seemingly) top of the line printer that could do just about everything except print on #10 envelopes (it could take basically all other envelopes except #10, which are the most common envelopes - weird). So wed use a typewriter to make any outgoing mail on those envelopes look professional.

We changed from Xerox to HP printers a few years back, so that isnt an issue anymore.

Forgot about this one. Curious that I did. It was literally always next to the phone in my parents' home and I'm sure I did use it more than once.

All of them. The only ones I didn't use regularly at any point in my life were rotary phones and typewriters (typewriters were still used frequently when I was a kid, but I was always scared of making mistakes so I preferred to write everything out by hand).

I didn't own a car with power windows until three years ago (I got my previous car new in 2005 and it was as basic as you could get, no power locks or windows).

I was also stuck with dial-up internet until 2010 or 2011.

I still have paper maps in my car as a backup.

all of them

Floppy disk - used them through my first two years of college
Typewriter - I didn't own my own computer until college so I used a 3rd hand electric typewriter. I have also "tried" the traditional type on a museum tour before.
Rotary phone - My house phone was a rotary phone until I was like 9. Got pretty good at using it.
Paper maps - I mean, I STILL love these things though now it's just to confirm what the GPS says
Cassette Tapes - wouldn't be a 90s kid without having used all myriad of licensed, bootlegged, and self-made cassettes
Dial-up internet - probably the thing that I'm least experienced with. After I went to college and got all fancified with PCs, my parents bought by sister one and they initially used a dial-up connection. She used it far more than I did.
Film rolls - used them but never really liked them. Always preferred Polaroids because convenience was more important to me than quality back then.
Car window crank - yep, in several cars too. Hell, my uncle had one with a broken handle that you really had to mess around with to get working.
Yellowpages - All the time until I got my first internet capable phone about a decade ago. Even though it's been ages since I've used one, I still think they're a good reference and it doesn't hurt to keep (exactly) one on hand.

I'm still a thirtysomething so it's weird to think that there are like two whole living generations (Zoomers and their children) that will have minimal or no exposure to any of this. I don't lament that but I think it's unfortunate that the usage of physical reference materials like road maps, atlases, and phone books aren't really being taught anymore. It makes some degree of "sense" with the technology that's available but it's good to know how to find things without asking Google or Alexa to do it for you.

Will absolutely teach my children how to use a phone book and a paper map. Show them some good music too.
