What tech products or categories are you most passionate about?

I am most passionate about the latest streaming services. There are so many to keep up with now, and it is important to me to keep readers informed about which streaming services are "worth it," which ones are raising prices, and how to save money in an increasingly crowded landscape. 

When did your interest in technology begin?

My interest in technology began in 1993, when, at the tender age of 6, I received a GameBoy as a present from my grandmother. Being able to play games at the kitchen table, in the car, and even at school (don't tell my teachers!) gave me a lifelong love of gaming that has stuck with me ever since!
