Earliest tech memory?

[FrigidNinja]

Whats your earliest tech memory? Computers are a huge part of my life. I've grown closer to the people around me via sharing the gaming experience with them.

 

My earliest memory on a computer was when i was 7-ish, on the "captain underpants" website, playing online games with my 4 yo little sister.

 

So whats yours?

First computer I had was some computer with a 1024 x 768 monitor, which was pretty good at the time.

This was the computer I discovered adult stuff on.

pretty sure i was like 5-7.

I built my first computer with a cyrix 333 processor. I remember playing pong on an Atari 2600 hooked up to a console tv that had a record player on the top under the wood

This lol. It was one with a 1280 x 1024 monitor. I still use that monitor today. I played flash games all the time on it. Had a bookmark's list a mile long. Full of viruses and everything. Gud times.

When my parents got me an original Xbox for Christmas, my grandparents got me a GameCube for Christmas that same year.

 

That was my favorite Christmas when I was little.

Being younger and raised in the times where schools have a heap of tech I just used the generic tech, PC's mianly for word processing/etc. but when I started to do things in my own time it would be:

Learning to remove malware from my family's 'studying pc' (primarily used by my dad to download music from frostwire) when i was 13.

My parents each had a first-generation iMac that came in the different colors. My mom had a blue one and my dad had a red one. My siblings and I could only play really simple games on them, like a game called Spacestation Pheta <3 or Amazon Trail, but I loved those old things. <3 My sister even recalls my dad putting some more RAM in one of them. (Or it might've been another computer, I dunno. My family's always had a lot.) I was 4 or 5 at the time.

 

Edit: Ooh, I just thought of something: my sister's first tech memory is my dad installing more memory in a computer! Hooray for silliness!

I remember when the Wii came out and I got it for Christmas - great times.

 

I also remember when I was about 4 or 5 we had dial up and I'd try to play my computer games (idk what) and I'd pick up the phone and like it went crazy I got scared that those sounds would like hurt me at night lel

probably not the only stuff he downloaded, considering the malware you removed

Related to computers, my first memory (i think) was going with my family to buy our first home PC. It was an IBM with windows 98SE, and we got a few games including bugs life with it.

[FrigidNinja]

theyre coming for you schram

[gojira]

I systematically loaded my granparents desktop and laptop with viruses when I was 7. 

[bob345]

played this game called nanosaur on the original imac when i was like 5 years old.

When I was a kid (not that long ago) I remember 3 things the most, My green gameboy coulour.

My ps1

and this old PC my stepdad had where we played pinball and this old golf game.

We had a family computer (Compaq) that ran what I think was a heavily customized version of Windows 95 or 98. I remember that I was no older than 5 or 6 and I set up my own "workstation" which would be the equivalent of having my own user logon for the computer. I was not ever subjected to any computers anywhere else, this was literally the only computer I had ever used and I had no access to Internet to check it either (late 1990s, rural area). Why did I do it? Everyone else in my family had one so why should I have to share one with everyone else?

My earliest Non-computer tech memory is playing with a Popeye Game and Watch, PP-23 model.

 

I did some research and it's actually released in 1981, but it was only given to me in around 1988. My family isn't rich back then, I have no idea where they got it from, not sure if bought 2nd hand or they got it from some other family members.

 

I had my share of fun on it, but stupid me thought that it's getting real dirty so I should wash it under the tap. Needless to say it didn't survive.

It's my father so i'm gonna say it was only music and the occasional album artwork 

[blackadder]

less than 5, my uncle has a laptop with a track ball. early 90s, like super high tech stuff. 

[Kc7vwc]

Windows 3.x/MS-DOS, ISA slot modem that ran Prodigy (pre AOL), external SCSI 1x CDrom (with caddy), pc speaker audio (if that). 256 color monitor (640x480) that my neighbor was jealous of cause his was a purple tinted 16color affair.

Came home from ski trip to see it on table. 386 chip I think.

[slightlyjaded]

My mother(teacher) borrowing a microbee from her school. Think I was about 4 years old. Damn those tape drives were slow.

[Mushious]

My grandmother had the first computer I ever saw, no idea on the specs but I remember the monitor was orange text on black and that it ran some version of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.

[1Scotty1]

My very first PC I got for my birthday when I was like 11-12 and first game I played was Diablo II, GOOD TIMES

[UNFKNBLVBL]

my dad and I drew a firetruck in ms paint on his work laptop and it blew my mind (must have been about 4)

[connorpiper]

Playing Riven on an iMac G3 (1999) with a 600MHz CPU! (Top upgraded model)

 

 

Our school had Windows 98 and then XP and MSPaint was the best.
