Country:  | I grew up with n TV without a remote, no computer, no TV games and a tape player. I got my own Games console when I was 16 (2002) and it was a PS1 and my own computer when I was 17 (2003) wich was a Pentium 2 running Windows 98. I got a my new PC in 2005. My first mobile I got in 2002 and before that it was home phone and phone booths.
I have been new to all this hi tech stuff just like the old fokes here.

| I remember when the only TV my family had was a crappy 19" B&W.
I still remember the day we finally got a color TV. Just in time for the 1970 TV season. First show I saw in color was Gilligans island. And after that was a Hawaii 5-0 episode.

Country:  | I remember our first "video game"...Pong! It had pong, squash and handball. The only real difference is that some were single player games.
