I want to get up to speed on how you guys grew up with technology. Post a picture timeline from the first device you ever owned, to the current device you own.

Because you probably own a lot of technology, let's stick to ONLY posting your computers and consoles (including portable game machines). I know that a lot of us probably switch our phones, music players and cameras frequently, and there's a lot of accessories we probably buy too. I'd like to keep the timelines a little shorter.

There you go!

 

A few notes:

I don't remember what computers we had but they were Windows 95 and 2000.

My NES: Buried means I've no idea where it is or if it still works.

Inactive means it works but is no longer used. The DS Lite still works, but succumbed to the hinge break virus. 

Dead means it is no longer usable.

Active means I still use it.

Current means it is the latest tech in the chain that I've owned.

 

EDIT: All images are of the actual versions that I own of each console/device.

Actually, I think that computer might have been close to my first computer. I have that same microphone somewhere...
