This is more than just an unboxing — it’s a full-circle moment.

Back in 2020, I filmed what was supposed to be the very first episode of Robots Tech Room: an unboxing of a 1st generation iPod Nano I found at a Second & Charles thrift store. It came in its original box, with all the accessories — and even still had music from its previous owner.

It’s not the same Nano I had growing up, but it is the same model — the one that changed everything for me. This was the first Apple product I ever used. It sparked my love of technology and ultimately set me on the path that led to where I am today.

The footage sat unfinished for years, but I finally brought it to life. This is the beginning — both of the channel, and of my tech story.

???? Robots Tech Room is a deep dive into middle-aged tech, forgotten formats, and the devices that shaped our digital lives. If you’re into that kind of nostalgia, subscribe and stick around.
