I remeber my 1st computer was a 133 Mhz with a 36k dial-up, I had a pager before I had a phone, but im sure the phone was Nokia and had Snake 🐍
Edit: pc was around 94? 95? Tbf we had a Tandy 1000 as a family computer in late 80s
Tandy… Kings Quest. So good. California Games. I miss how simple life used to be.
Pretty sure it was a Nokia 3110 in the late 90’s.
For first PC it would have been around 1995. Dial up baby.
Gaming console would have been the Sega Master System. But I do remember other things before this but they were my uncles. Maybe a commador
Anyone over 40 who doesn’t say Nokia or Motorola is either lying or should check themselves into memory rehab.
Third or fourth hand nokia, one of em indestructible ones. I was in school, so I didn’t have much use for one. Kept using nokia until I got a blackberry, and then a samsung. Moved over to iphone but didn’t like it much.
Commodore 64
My first phone was the standard '70s Bell-style rotary

My first phone was a Nokia 100 in 2008, my first computer I owned was my first laptop, a Lenovo Ideapad 100S (4GB RAM, 64GB Storage) in 2017. I’m currently rocking a phone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G) that has better specs (6GB RAM, 128GB Storage) than that old laptop which is still kinda crazy to me. I also think the processor is more powerful as well, but don’t know the exact specs off the top of my head.
Like age? Couldn’t really afford that many luxuries growing up so my first real phone was at 17, some kind of kyocera, as for my first computer think I was 11. The computer was actually a laptop, a Sony VAIO, from a thrift store. The keyboard, trackpad, battery and speakers didn’t work and the screen had damage so I got a hell of a deal on it. Didn’t know how to fix it at the time, so I just used USB peripherals, connected it to my TV and threw on lubuntu, that beast lasted me for another 6 years until I went to college.
Phone, probably in 2012 or 2013: Sony Ericsson W200i.
Proper computer in 2020: (Laptop) eMachines e627. A very slow AMD Athlon 64 powered laptop. It broke after 2 months of use. It’s what got me to Linux. I barely got any understanding of what OS is, less so a difference between Linux and Windows, but I needed one. I found the UI of Windows 10 too complicated, so I went with Linux Mint 20 MATE.
Of course, that is only after learning what “distribution” is.
My ass was trying to find “just Linux”.Thankfully, it already had Windows installed (used, unclean, untrusted, potentially unsafe to use) and I managed to dig out some DVD-RW which used to have some cartoon on it. Of course I had 0 flash drives.
For the reference, I am 18 now.

I got my first phone in 1998. It was a nokia 8110, aka the ‘banana phone’.
I got my first computer in 1989. It was a Commodore VIC-20. I still have it. 5kB of RAM should be enough for everyone.
We had a Vic 20 as well! In 1984. I was 4 years old.
Wow. In 84 it cost about a dollar per minute to talk on a cell phone. That’s when minimum wage was $3.35 an hour. So you’d have to work for 20 minutes to afford one minute of talk time if you were a minimum wage worker.
My first computer was our family’s 286 Wang pc. I used it mainly to play Sierra games. It’s how I learned a lot of my first English words.
I got my first cellphone, a Sony-Ericsson, around 2003 and only because my brother gave it to me. I was a staunch hater of cellphones but too Dutch to pass up on a free thing :)My first phone was some badass Nokia from 1998. My first comp was in 1993. DX33 with a 1MB Genoa GPU, 8MB RAM, 250MB HDD, and a 2400 baud modem. That sumbitch was $3,000 back then.
