    I was lucky enough to have an xbox when I was 4 and throughout the rest of my childhood. We were quite tight on money at the time so we couldn't buy any games and instead played nothing but demos, needless to say, my older brother and I still loved it!
  • My first mobile phone

    My first mobile phone
    My first ever phone was given to me by my uncle, it was an old Nokia 3350 and he made sure to tell me how lucky I was to have something so advanced at such a young age! This relates quite strongly to the digital divide, because as time passed, advanced tech such as mobile phones were available for kids much earlier in their lives.

    My first Portable Music Player
    Although ipods were released way back in 2001, the only music player I had back then was an old discman that I used all the time! I would take it on every car ride and even walk it through the shops, often I'd be listening to prince.

    At the end of 2015 I decided to change phones from Iphone 4S to the samsung Galaxy S5, the customizability and freedom it provided smartphone users with was more appealing. Samsung were quite famous for allowing far more freedom.
