Diving boards have almost completely disappeared in the USA. LOL! I remember jumping from the 9 foot board for the first time, I did a cannonball, I was sore afterwards.

The kids are using Fuji Film cameras these days.
I have seen phone booths in rural areas and they actually work
I still have my walkman and occasionally play some songs I recorded for distributions
I bought a Royal Typewriter last year....as a decoration
I still have a transistor radio. Haven’t used in years.
I do have a couple calculators but, use the one on my phone

The drive-in movie theater hasn't died.
We have a couple right by us in Cleveland. The second feature usually ends too late for me. But it’s fun to watch them drive around the lot with jumper cables to jump all the folks who left their radios tuned in with ignition off for a bit too long. My daughter’s “Covid” high school commencement was held at one. Best commencement ever.

You can’t drop a dime on somebody either. Now you have to swat them from your FBI issued burner.

Respect for our flag at sporting events.
Also, some senior fellows here can ask their wives if they miss vintage Cashmere Bouquet Talcum Powder.
