I have cable and network TV.  I don't stream anything.

Re: What do you still do the old fashion way?

Paper calendar 

Pocket calendar in purse

Write some checks 

Landline, use cell for emergencies and to play with

Use lots of post it notes

Send lots of cards, including Christmas ones

Thank you notes, hand written

Cook, the old fashion way. Rarely use microwave or air fryer

Put three spaces between state and zip code, the way I was taught in typing class

Wash dishes. Use dish washer as a drain

Use my manners. Saying Thank you and you're welcome when appropriate 

Say nothing when nothing good to say

Arrive at least 15 minutes early for appointments. The way I was taught growing up

Read books and daily newspaper 

Never call anyone before 8am or past 10pm unless it's an emergency 

Call people older than me Mr. or Mrs. Not by their first name unless asked to do so

Use address book

Make appointments by phone. Not on line

I still have a flip phone & refuse to buy a smartphone.  I hate high phone bills & I don't need all those other features--just talk & text once in a while.  Keep life simple.  :-D

@VanSleepy   I also still like using my recipe cards. For my four children and grandson, I bought each of them a recipe box and wrote out my recipes, that were their favorites.

 

 I do sometimes look up a new recipe online. If I like it, I put it on a card for my recipe box.

@Enufstuff yes I also write new ones on the cards for the box. Just easier to work with to me than reading it from tablet or phone. 

 

That's a nice idea for your grandchildren.
