Janice asks: "what did you adopt 5-10 years after everyone else?"

[Sally, la reina]

Just to compliment the other thread.

I didn't watch cable until the late 90s. And then I freakishly loved it.
I didn't discover Adele until "Rolling in the Deep" appeared on a Shebang this year. I guess everyone else found her years ago?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I didn't start watching the Sopranos until several years into it, and then on tape.

DVD player. Elliptical machine. I put off getting a cellphone until very late in the game. (4th quarter.) Because I loathed them. I didn't get a coffee machine until I was given one.

Showering. Drinking water. Drinking beer.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Yes - I don't know when most children switched from baths to showers, but showers always seemed more adult, and I kept on immersing myself in the baths of childhood until my early teen years, I think.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I never adopted the water craze of lugging a bottle of water with you wherever you go, but I did eventually get a Brita pitcher, and now I drink water almost exclusively.

[Sally, la reina]

Ive still never watched The Sopranos.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I haven't finished watching. All the video stores went out of business when I still had a couple seasons left. You should watch it, Sally. So good.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Pierced ears.

Didn't get my driver's license until I was 20.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Law & Order.

[Sally, la reina]

I didn't get into Harry Potter. I read four books in 2002 and that is it.

[Stina]

I didn't get an iPod until two years ago, and that was a gift from someone who was upgrading. I mess around with it every two months or so... LAME.

I still don't own an iProduct of any kind.

[Sally, la reina]

I don't have a flat screen tv.

Moi neither.

A picture of LG as a kid.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

LG was an amish boy? Suddenly it's all starting to make sense.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

How well I loved life on the farm, and my bowl haircut.

[Janice]

I didn't start watching the sitcom "Sex in the City" till after the first movie came out.

[janine]

Sex and the City and Facebook.

[janine]

And showering, we just had a bath.

[RandomAnthony]

Bones. I'm on season three, just watched the episode where Brennan dresses like Wonder Woman. Yee-ha.

Coffee. I didn't start drinking coffee until my late thirties. What was I thinking?

[Félix]

Better late than never.

[Félix]

I had never used a blackberry until 2006. All that thumb typing was difficult to master.

[Suefly]

I never really drank until I was over 21, I got a Mac last year (which I now love) so I was late to that party. Ditto with Ipod and the I-Phone. I'm not tech savvy in the least, so I am just really beginning to embrace and enjoy newer technology.

[~Geektastic~]

I didn't have a phone capable of texting until about 3 years ago. Also joined Facebook way later than everyone else I know, and I still don't use it much. And I didn't read His Dark Materials (Golden Compass, et al) until a few months ago, despite all the buzz when the trilogy first came out.

[Jim]

Dr Who.

[Cynthia]

Friday Night Lights. Just watched the first disc of the first season. It is terrific.

[Annie]

I'm 18 and don't have my driver's license, I've never had a flat screen tv and in fact didn't have any kind of tv until I was 8. Seeing as I'm 18 now, I was quite the outsider as a kid :P
Not to mention I'm always a year or two behind with fashion...

I was a late bloomer with Facebook as well. One of my friends sent me an invite and I thought, "What the hell do I want this crap for?" It was probably a year later that I signed on. My first message was from her, "It's about time!"

[Sarah]

I still don't have a smartphone of any sort. I started watching Buffy in season 5, though I quickly caught up thanks to my friend's VHS tapes of the whole series.

I'm only up to David Tennant when it comes to Doctor Who. Only recently watched the Wire.

[Michael]

Jim wrote: "Dr Who."

Me too. I'm just about up to Jon Pertwee.

We? Who are you bathing with, janine?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I'm a Facebook never-adopter.

I watched a few Sex and the City episodes at least 5-7 years after they aired. I couldn't take that many.

Once upon a time I bathed with my brother and sisters.

It's a European thing, I guess. Group bathing, I mean.

[Janice]

I thought that was a Japanese thing with the public bath houses.

[Angela~twistedmind~]

There are so many things, I'm not even gonna try to list everything. The biggie, though, is anything that concerns technology. I'm not even familiar with many of the things that have been mentioned here.

[Cynthia]

Whoa. Emm revives a dead thread from 2011. Way to go!

[Carol]

It's been just a year since I got a smartphone. I knew I could never go back once I had one.

[Félix]

I didn't get an iPhone until last year. About 5 years behind the time, I guess.
