How many devices do you have?

The DJ on True Oldies Channel mentioned a family that has 4 screens for each member of the family. I guess I'm right up there.
I did a quick check and I have 2 I use daily, phone and laptop. And 2 others I rarely use, old desktop and my tv.
How about you?

Just recently had the living room painted and was tempted to put the tv away. Even my company doesn't watch it.

I'm getting messages that my laptop won't be supported much longer, so maybe when get a new one, I'll use it more. I'm afraid of viruses, malware, other problems, so i don't surf much. I don't like surfing on my phone, the screen is too small.

How are we defining devices?
We have 2 phones & a laptop..but, we still pay for cable. We do have TVs
But, in reality there are almost never more than 2 TVs on & I might be on the net on my phone.
If we count TVs, 8. If not, 3.

I just counted things I've used in the last year. Lots of other stuff we retired, but haven't recycled.
