Can you remember what your first bit of 'Tech' was?

In my case it was a 6 transistor radio which I got in the late 60's if memory serves and this was fantastic. Suddenly music was potable albeit a bit crackly. But I loved it. Something like this.

Next was the Kodak 110 camera which is just a tad different to my modern DSLR with it's interchangeable lenses. Cost an arm and a leg to get the poor snaps developed but it was the overall portability and simplicity that made this so good at the time.

The above two were presents, but I bought this myself, the Sharp RP-114 Vertical Turntable. Loved it.

You can't really say that a transistor radio was a bit of tech since they had been around in various forms for decades.
I would say the calculator in the early 70s was my first bit of tech because it took over from my slide rule.

How can I not say that as my question was" Can you remember what your first bit of 'Tech' was?" Matters not that how long they had been out and it certainly was not ages as you put it. But it was my first bit of tech.
