I mean mobile phones, computers, tablets, laptops etc that go on the internet?
I was trying to count all ours and was horrified to work out we have 4 tablets, several phones ( only 2 in constant use ) 2 laptops ( plus a couple of old ones that we don’t use). 3 computers all used quite a bit. Not to mention 5 TV sets. I think we’ve lost the plot and I am not getting any more , we need our heads looking at.

An iPhone and a laptop each in our 3 adult household. I have an old iPad and a work iPad ( doesn’t belong to me) We have 3 TVs ( one in our sons room). Our main TV with sky box and computer is much too complicated for me and I cannot switch it all on in the correct order! I long for a simple radio I can just switch on and listen to!

The local schools here are way ahead of us, every student has their own laptop provided. A lot more privileged than we were. Funny thing is that I think we actually knew more at their ages except perhaps not quite so broad a knowledge. We have one computer dedicated to banking and financial things, the others are his and hers. My old laptop is about to die so maybe I shouldn’t count that one!

Schools don’t want laptops that are over 5 years’ old!

I live on my own and have 2 tablets, 2 mobile phones (one never used), and one laptop.

Live alone but still have
Lap top
Notebook
Kindle
No mobile phone as they make me seriously ill. Passing out even. I do have an emergency one for the car which is pay as you go and I do not add £ to it as it is still £10 as when bought YEARS ago. Still works though.

Too many to count!

A laptop and an android phone each.

Plus two old laptops that have been disconnected from the Internet, but could at a pinch be used.

We have all the usual paraphernalia like mobile phones, laptops, etc plus all our Smart Home products like door sensors, Alexa's, security cameras, lights. doorbell and plugs. When the internet goes down, it's chaos. grin

Oh my word- with a 22yr old and 18yr old (birthday yesterday) still at home we have far too many to count!! At one given time if i look on internet providers app theres about 15/17 connected at once, (but it counts gaming consoles, smart tvs,phones,& other pcs& routers also,even if not actually using at the time!)?Theres also a printer and 2 extra laptops provided by college&uni.(1 only borrowed)

For some strange reason the cat likes it when the printer's being used- he trots over when it fires up & stays there being very interested till it's stopped spitting paper out.He's very odd.??

I have three PCs that I use regularly and one for games that wont run on modern PCs. I also have a laptop that I would rarely use outside my home. I don't have a smartphone or "smart" TV.
