You have me beat, I get 36.  

Never had a need for a phone in my car, there were always plenty of pay
phones around.  Try finding one of those now - recently I left my phone
at home and had to call my wife while I was out.  It took me a half hour
driving from one strip mall to the next before I found one.

While I was at concerts where people held up lighters I never did it
myself.  Although I do have some fuzzy memories of holding up a lighter
and throwing rice at midnight showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Laser disk - couldn't afford it.  I didn't even get a color TV until
sometime in the early 80's, and a VCR in the mid to late 80's.

Boombox - never wanted one.
Blind date - siituation never came up, but plenty of my friends did.


Just as interesting are the 12 that still apply.

I'm pretty close. I'd say 38, but 2 only because I couldn't afford them
when they came out:

Phone installed in Car
Laser Disk

I must be obsolete, I'm 36-for-40: 

    Obsolete Technology: 40 Big Losers - PC World
    http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article/id,169863/printable.html

I have done all of thes except I can't remember holding up a lighter at
a 
concert (but I can't remember many concerts, either ;-)); I can't
remember

making a "mix tape", and I never had a calculator watch (I pre-date
that,
can 
you say "slide rule", boys and girls?); I never used a dedicated "word 
processor" (my first "word processing" experience was writing my MS
thesis

using TECO) ...

Is anybody here 40-for-40?
