Hey!

What is the oldest tech stuff in your household?

In mine/our, an extra old Ericsson GH174 mobile phone, which was bought by me, for fun...

NES is cool!

Well, until I finally sold her, we had an Acer Aspire 1300 (brick) laptop...

We have some old broken TVs and my brother's old stuff as well from who-knows-when (He moved out 7 years ago, at 16, and he could have gotten these at any age.. you do the math)

We used to have an Atari which was my step brothers, we could play Keystone Kapers on and some other games, but it got accidentally thrown away!

The oldest tech used to me an old PC (Well....most of one....) that I managed to resurrect from years under the stairs. But that broke and the oldest thing now is a GameBoy Advanced from 2001

I guess the PS2, followed by the GameCube. But the stove in this flat is about the oldest stove I've seen since my grandfather replaced his. I wouldn't be able to place its age.

Old computers... I gave away 3 of them for something small :) (A Coke, etc.)
But somewhere we have a Commodore 16, but I'm not sure about its whereabouts! :D

Wow thinking about it lets me know how much I've given or thrown away. Oldest is probably a old dell inspiron but I gave the hard drive to my aunt when I fix her computer.

The oldest technology I have in my house is a really old GE microwave from the early 80's, but I guess that counts as more of an appliance than a piece of technology (kinda depends on your definition).

The next oldest thing is some hard disks from an old PowerMac G4 Tower.

Functioning, probably my TV. Had it since kindergarten.

Non functioning, we have computers from like Windows 95 and stuff, but they don't work.

Two Ataris. They were my parents' when they were little.

We also have a VCR from the 70s that was my grandparent's. It'solder than both of the Ataris. However, it still works, and we'll use it to hook up gaming systems to our older TVs.

P.S. Game cubes aren't that old! I'm only 17 and I remember when we got ours haha! Stop making me feel outdated!

Probaby not counted as Tech in the sense you're referring to, but they're still technology:

1880 wooden piano
1912 meat safe
1920 fruit preserver
1926 Remington portable typewriter
1928 Royal typewriter
1928 sewing machine
1940 typewriter of some description

I think that's it for most of out old stuff.

We got rid of most of our old stuff... computer/TV/video game wise.

I have some old Soviet and German cameras as well as a record player and some old radios, but that's about it.

Oh and I'm not sure if it's considered old enough, but our TV is an old Sanyo from '98 (still works and it's the only TV we have in the house) and my car is a '98 Mercury, as well.

Well, there's a 1950s television in my attic, if that counts.

It's many decades past working, unfortunately.

An original gameboy and a sega genesis. If it counts I've also got a typewriter, but it's not even an electric one.
