Have you ever faced death? I did when I had a heart attack over Thanksgiving 2020 at the age of 33. Since then, I’ve been on a journey to understand how we can use technology to improve our daily lives.
Hi, I’m Nirave, a 37-year-old tech journalist who has reviewed consumer tech for 18 years. I’ve worked for some of the biggest niche tech websites in the world — XDA, Android Authority, Android Central, and more — and currently contribute to Digital Trends, Forbes, Android Police, and others.
The angle
Every gadget has a tech story, so I ask three key questions:
- Does this matter right now?
- If so, why?
- If not, will it matter in the future?
This directly feeds into our rating system. Each product receives a rating out of 5 based on its perceived impact, and each product card contains information on who should buy it.
