Early to everything but Bitcoin, strangely enough.
Used Linux since 2000, got the first Android G1 phone, lived through web 2.0 and all the early social platforms (Flickr, del.icio.us, Twitter), RSS readers, torrenting and blogging. Even had broadband when that was rare and home wifi before routers were supplied by ISPs as standard.
But I wasn't interested (or educated) enough in money to grok Bitcoin for a very long time.
Also never had an interest in tablets. Still don't. They suck.
a 10.1" tablet is the perfect size for reading comic books.
8 tracks
Got my first 8-track player in 2008. Came with the car lol
Seriously? That's incredible! I haven't seen one in the wild since the early 1980s.
Absolutely. It came with a very old car - still have it. I knew I would get her when it had ‘Hits of Frank Sinatra’ as an 8-track included.
Cars? I still do not have a driver's license.
might as well wait for the self driving ones
Arduino.
Still haven’t gotten into Raspberry Pi.
Arduino yes! Started experimenting with in 2007 together with processing.org.
They are very fun, can recommend.
Everything except bitcoin. I was too occupied to see what the internet would become.
ur early where it really counts
It depends =) What's your definition of LATE?
https://boringtechnology.club/
I was late with Vuejs and Javascript ES6 (I was using jQuery too long) which is (a frontend) part of doing my business now.
I was early with installing Bitcoin on a homecomputer somewhere in 2010 (I was 13 years old) to see what it was (I did not understand it in that time, my interests were somewhere else). I ignored it till the half of 2020...so that was late.
Late is all relative to your own timeline i suppose
Many such cases. You were living life, no wrong in that
Bitcoin. I only got in in late 2020.
In computers and coding since the late 1980's, was using BBSs via dial-up in the early 1990s and been using the internet since 1993. Linux since 1999. Social media since 2007, Android since 2012.
I dismissed Bitcoin for a long time, because I thought it was a scam. It was based on an article I saw that said Bitcoin was dead, which I didn't even bother to read beyond the headline, and I think it was actually about MtGox. Even though I had been a libertarian / ancap since childhood, before I even knew it had a name. The propaganda machine did its job. It's easier for me now to see why others continue to be fooled.
"You got in in 2020????????? If only I was that early"

Bitcoin isn't technology, but the first product of the blockchain technology!! I thought people know this! 😬🙈
Late adopter. Didnt get a smart phone until 2015 ( everyone in office made fun of me for using a flip phone ). When i finally did adopt, i got the windows smart phone 🤣
Didnt get my first proper smart phone until 2017ish when i inherited my wife's old galaxy S3
You can say all you want about windows smartphones, the UI was superior.
we didnt know how good we had it with flip phones
Smartphones. I kept refusing to waste such amount of money for a phone, when I could make and receive calls and send and receive text (SMS) with my trusted all GMS phones (had a few of them).
For everything else I had computers, desktops, laptops, and servers, which were most of the time within my reach.
I finally capitulated and got my first Android phone when I decided I wanted to be able to have a bitcoin wallet on my pocket. Had been using localbitcoins by SMS for a while already. :-)
Biggg respect lol, hard to manage these days without a phone
Bitcoin.
I started really investing in Bitcoin in 2016.
I just started having fun with it in 2014 on a technical level since I'm a developer first and foremost. But at the time, I didn't understand the why of Bitcoin. Only the technical side impressed me.
you are very early ser
I like to learn about new tech, but I usually let others experiment and help reach stability before I adopt. I’m almost always late to things
not bitcoin or SN tho ;)
You've been experimenting and stablizing!
Only quantum computing! :))
idek has anyone adopted that yet lol
Outside of narrow-use quantum computers (e.g. D-wave), there isn't anything to adopt.
There is so much hype surrounding quantum computing that the field will likely experience a quantum winter, for the same reasons as the prior AI winter.
There's a lot

Bitcoin
Bitcoin isn't technology 🙈 It is the first product of the blockchain technology!! I thought people know this! 😬
Of course it is technology. Built on top of other technology, but technology nevertheless.
before 2021: "bitcoin is not real money"
*facepalm
u are here now ser
Programming.
My shop and CAD teacher in high school singled me out to join his programming class, but he'd got me in trouble for doing stick death art so I was like "f-you man!"
It was such a missed opportunity. I was already programming calculators ... but I didn't realize that was "real" programming until much later. One big lol from my calculator days is I would program without line breaks not realizing they weren't supposed to be like that.
Same for me with coding. AI has been revealing to me.
Bitcoin
wrong ser
Understood
Bitcoin isn't technology... 🙈 It's the first product of the blockchain technology!!
Bitcoin. Friend offered me 1 BTC for free when it's exchange rate was around 1 USD, I rejected.
oof
GH Copilot.
lol I guess Tiktok, because I still don't have an account
never have never will lol
Well, I still haven't been using any voice activated home assistants, while many of my friends have. I refuse to put spyware in my home. I already have spyware in my pocket!
same, don't like the thought of having those at home. Never have really used them, or even the voice commands on my phone. I keep it all silent
Wondering when the full societal flip to regularly conversing with robots comes, seems like we're almost there
Usually most tech. The one that comes to mind was the iPhone (smart phones). Took me 3 years.
I was more than happy enough with my Nokia 3310 brick phone and throwing it in the air to test its robustness. Or the slick design of the Motorola Razr, that got me by.
nokia was peak technology, bitcoin a close second
Anything except of cars. I had my driving licence the day of my 18th birthday and an old car...
Got my first Smartphone, believe it or not, 6 years ago to stay in contact with some friends.
Decentralized social media.

You're thinking if a boomer who can't even recognize a bot is using it, man am I late.

Did you already adopt it? If you didn't I don't think this counts, lol
