I didn't get my first computer until I was nine, when my then-uncle was going to throw it away for being a boat anchor with DOS 5.0 and Win3.1.

I didn't get my first additional games for it until three solid months of begging finally wore my mom into buying from the "please take this shit for free" bin.

I didn't get a color monitor for it until I was ten, which my mom's work was going to throw out for being outdated.

I didn't get a CD drive for it until I was eleven, because my dad had one he wasn't using.

I didn't get my first proper game system until I was twelve, and the GBC had already been out for a year. My grandparents popped for one I could share with my brother because my cousins both liked theirs so much. We got four games for it and didn't get more until months later when we coughed up from our own piggy banks.

I didn't get my first console until I was thirteen, which was a free fourth-hand PS1 from a friend as everyone got the PS2. It's one of the originals with the plastic gears (and still works!).

I didn't get a modern computer until I was eighteen, and it was the cheapest laptop we could find for school. I got my first dial-up a month later after explaining what the Internet was to my mom and saying how useful it would be for school research.

I didn't get high-speed Internet until I was nearly twenty because my mom finally discovered YouTube and I convinced her to shell out for a package deal with our phone company.

I did not get a cell phone until I was twenty-two, and only because my brother had bought a TracFone on his own money and then decided his plan blew goats, so it was just lying around.

I did not join any site minus Gaia, Zenhex, or NPF until late last year.

I did not join Twitter until NPF exploded however long ago.



If I have something related to technology or software and another person doesn't, chances are they are fucking behind. XP
