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.

DH and I have 1 laptop each, 1 tablet each - which we only use when we are away on holiday - I have 1 kindle, we have 1 TV and neither of us has a smart phone.

Oh, just thought, does having CCTV count?

I forgot about the Firestick

We have one television, a mobile phone each, a computer each and a tablet each and I have a Kindle - so 8. Gosh, that's a surprise when we are basically not very tech-savvy!

2 smartphones, one laptop, one Chromebook, one Amazon Echo, one Kindle Fire, two Kindle paperwhites and 4 TVs (3 of which are very old, small and unSmart).

Oh I hate to think how many gadgets we have!!
He is techno mad ( to be fair his job is in computers so he has to be up to date with everything)
I know there are 3 computers in the study & I have my own PC too.
i phones, Kindles, 3 TVs, numerous radios & a lot of things I have no idea what they do but he seems to like them!
All I use are my Kindle, PC, portable radio & Alexa who does a lot of useful stuff including turning lights, TV,& radios on & off.

Cleaned out the redundant laptops and donated to the local secondary school during lockdown. A 3 were working, just not the fastest but school snapped them up. Left with a laptop,two tablets and 3 phones. One of the phones is used especially for husband's hearing disability.

We have a mobile phone each, plus one laptop (which only I use), and a couple of e-readers, one desktop computer plus three TV's. As we have just moved, we do not currently have any TV at all, so use phones and the Computer to watch some TV (far less than we normally would because we can only watch live programmes). Hopefully, we will have a TV service in mid-may!
There is just myself and my husband at home.

Oops! Forgot my husband's Fitbit!

2 smart TVs, 2 smartphones, 1 kindle (original with keyboard), 1 Kindle Oasis, 1 Samsung Tablet, 1 HP PC.
Least used are the old Kindle and the Tablet but all the others are in daily use.

There are three of us and we each have a phone, tablet and laptop. There are two television sets , we have Hive to control the heating and a Ring doorbell. Oh and we were given an ekettle which I can turn on from my smart phone while we are watching tv. You could say that we have embraced technology big time. We have Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney and Apple TV. You could say we live firmly in the 21st century and our GC expect us to.

You can sell old equipment, particularly old phones - you don't get a huge amount for them, but it is worth a thought.
