First bit of tech I can remember having?
Probably this bad boy:
I was just looking for a picture for this!
my grandad gave it me as it was in the loft where he had his trains set up
I'm so glad you found a picture of this, it was bugging me because I couldn't remember what the thing was called. I had the dark red one, my brother had the white one.
Awesome toy
same!
My sister was the director for the French Nintendo gameboy TV ads in Paris, she won an award and we all got given those bright yellow gameboys for free, I think I was about 10 at the time.. those were the days!
I had the red one, it was a tank battle with alien craft coming towards you.

I will probably give the pokémon red a shot on it tonight or super mario world, oh the choices
I had the gameboy, commodore 64, spectrum 128k, 512k etc... I guess music players is where I geeked out when I was young.
I got the Sony WM-B603 walkman in about 1990 when I was 6, this was the bee's knee's it could automatically flip your tape over and it was about half the size and weight of a lot of the other kids walkmans at school, plus i had a bass button! I had a set of audio technica over ear headphones which were also the best sounding thing ever. I think there are still in the garage somewhere.
Then I upgraded to a minidisc player as I also had a minidisc player in my stereo, i think I was about 15 as the cassette player was just not updated for many years.
This was not as a good of a model, it was a Sharp MD-SR60 but it allowed recording if I went to a friends house to steal their prodigy albums.
Then I got my firsr proper PC and I had Winmx and audio satilite and could get music online (56k dial up). So I was given an mp3 player.
I had two I remember, the best being the panasonic SV SD75
This was pretty revolutionary back then, it was small and could fit on your arm or hang from your neck. You could store a massive 15 songs on the 64mb SD card which took forever to upload onto.

first one - god knows.
could be my b&w tv (with a dial!)
could be a binetone games system, or one of the handheld lcd things mentioned above.
could be my awesome casio digital watch with 20 different musical alarms.
or swingball.
