My first computer was in the mid-90s. It was a Commodore 64 and it was exclusively for playing Frogger on a floppy disk.

First phone was in 1999 or 2000, my older sister's hand-me-down, believe it was a Nokia 2110. It was a brick phone with stationary antenna.

I got my first phone when I was 13-14 or so, a Nokia 3330, great phone, later I moved to an 8210, 5110, Sony Ericsson k700i, Sony Ericsson k800i (damn fantastic phone), Nokia 5800, Nokia E7 (pickpocked less than a year after buying it with my first pay check, brilliant phone) Nokia 300, Nokia E72 (Fantastic phone), iPhone 5s, iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, iPhone 12 mini.

My first computer ran Windows 3.11, no idea of the specs, I shared it with my sister, the first computer I can sort of remember the specs of was a machine with an AMD 233mhz cpu, windows 95/98, 32MB ram, 1.6 GB hdd and a Diamond sound card.

Built a system with a speedy Pentium 100 (later upgraded to a K6). Late 90s. Windows 98SE.

First phone was a Motorola RAZR.

My first own computer was a Pentium II with 300Mhz, 64MB Memory, an Elsa Gladiac Erazor graphics card and a 4GB HDD. I got it around the year 2000, it was a used computer from the company of my parents. Before I got this one I was allowed to play on the 286 and later the 486 which my parents had in their company's office. My first mobile was a Nokia 6210 and I got it around the year 2001.

Gateway back in 1994. I was 5 idk the model

Nokia brick in 2002.

Phone? Probably an old flip phone. Motorola perhaps? I can’t remember. Computer was a Tandy TRS-80 I think, or something like that.

Phone: Nokia 5160 I think it was.

Computer: ZX-81

I remember I had a 386 with or without co-processor.Later upgraded to a luxury 486!Wow.That brings back a lot of memories.Floppy disks, text consoles. 🙂

• Room phone: A clear 90's phone

• Cell Phone: Some sort of non-folding T9 phone, it wasn't a Nokia though

• Smartphone: Knockoff iPhone 6

• Computer: Pentium III desktop with 256 MB RAM, 30 GB HDD, Windows Me. It was also the family computer. Later upgraded to 1GB RAM and Windows 2000

• Computer (my own): 10.6" notebook with a 1 GHz Celeron, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB HDD, and Windows XP (later upgraded to 2GB RAM)

First phone: Conair Transparent Trimline

First computer: Tandy 1000HX in 1990, but before that I used my grandpa’s Macintosh SE.

When I turned 13, I got my first computer, a laptop (a gaming computer, originally running Windows 10, ran Windows 11 for a very short time when it came out and it's been Linux ever since), although I'd had use of my family's desktop for a few years previously (10 year old very slow computer, running Windows). I was given a dumb phone at 11 (some Nokia), got my first smartphone at 14 (an iPhone), and the first smartphone I actually owned at 16 (a Motorola).

I'm not sure what the very first one was, but I think the one I used most as a kid was this one or something similar (family computer):

I don't remember my first laptop but I got it in 2010ish around the end of school.

My first cell phone was from Cingulair in 2004 or 2005? A black flip phone. No idea of anything else about it, except that I ran up the texting bill and it had an internet button right on the keypad which I was constantly hitting on accident. That's probably how I developed anxiety now that I think about it.

My first smartphone was a Nokia Windows phone. Looks like Lumia is what it was called...maybe the 520? Also black. I got that around 10 years ago. I didn't even want it and I've always regretted it because that was when I really started getting attached to my phone. All these apps and stuff...yuck

We had a Vic20 then a Commodore 64 when I was a kid.

I think our first modem was 300baud and I went on BBS's with it.

I think the next modem was 2400, but I remember being so excited when we got a 9600.

I got a hand me down 386 and later bought a 486 cpu used off a neighbor and upgraded it myself. That was my first time tinkering inside the case.

At the end of the last century, somewhere between 97-99 probably. I became fully equipped with a Motorola 501 Startac and a Psion Series 5mx. My whole world changed. I’d used a mandarin clamshell iBook and a “rabbit” phone previously (maybe an NEC?) but the Motorola and Psion were the first I bought for myself.

The first computer that was in the home for me to use was a 486 IBM PS/2 dual booted with OS/2 and Windows 3.1. The first computer that was actually mine was a little NEC laptop running a Syrix equivalent of a Pentium II and Windows 98.

My first cell phone was a Motorola Talkabout. It was my father's, he had a cell line for a couple years. When I got my driver's license, I think he got all dad-like and decided everyone needs cell phones, so he added two lines to the plan, got new phones for him and my mother and I got his old phone. That was circa 2003.

My first "smart" phone was somewhere around 2009 or 2010, an LG Ally.

I got my first phone in 2002. It was a Nokia 3510.

I got my first computer, or rather our first family computer, in the same year. All I remember specs-wise is that it was your typical beige Pentium 4 machine, 40GB HDD, massive 19" CRT monitor, running Windows XP.

23 cause the fam was broke

Commodore 64 and two cartridges (Space Invaders and Radar Rat Race) around 1983 I think. No tape drive or floppy at first, so I got used to typing in games from magazines and books until the computer got turned off. This was early, I didn't know anyone else that had a computer. Eventually we got a tape drive (datassette) and that was when my life took a deroute, but that is a different story for a different day.

Nokia something, year somewhere 2000-2002, didn't feel it, but my parents believed that I would answer the phone more if I had a mobile.

First kompoder, I'm not sure what it was called or who made it but it definitely had a Pentium 4 in it. It was rubbish. And I had to spend 4 years with it before taking the leap to Vista, and man what a leap it was.

First phone... it was definitely a Samsung Star from 2009. It was pretty good, but then I got an iPhone 4 and never looked back... until 2 years into the flattening.
