We received at work (a finance function, no less) a cheque a few months back. An actual paper cheque, in the post. There were people crowding round to see it. "What do we do with it?" they asked. "Do we have to post it to the bank?" "What *is* it?" Times change so quickly.

Tried explaining concept of a pager to my 20yr old cousin & he was certain that I was taking the piss. ‘If you want to DM someone you had to phone a call centre, dictate it to a rando, they then send DM to a small LED device, recipient can’t reply, but can call back centre if you have a pager and…’

Last time I got one I had to go into the bank branch and had to ask what to do with it (IE where to go with it, particularly since it wouldn't let me use the machine to deposit it because of the card type)

I still love getting them solely because I find paying them in using my mobile camera and banking app so amazing
