My background is as a scientist and researcher (clinical bio, biochemistry, physical chemistry and advanced physics). I spent years as UNIX system administrator and have a lifetime of experience building hardware and electronics. I am a published short-story author and love to cook.
SensibleTech is dedicated to progressing us all technologically. Just as everyone should have a sound basic knowledge of finances, health and politics, one should be comfortable-to-fluent in the basis of our technology.
In college I had a friend who constantly reminded us ‘that every decision is a political decision’. Nothing we do is without consequence or free from influence. If we understand the choices and pressures we can make better decisions and become more responsible citizens.
I hope to bring my readers to this point technologically. We can’t simply use our gadgets and geek-out on hardware and cool-factors. We should understand that our technological choices have consequences beyond us and are not free from outside influence. And just as we can become more responsible political and ecological citizens we can become better users of technology, avoiding pitfalls and maximizing returns while staying connected and modern.
Opt-in, smartly.
I invite you read, ask, contribute and grow.
