Tech for Humans

Grandma Gigabyte

Grandma Gigabyte got her first computer for her seventieth birthday and immediately set it to the largest font. She tests gadgets, apps and recipes with the same question: would this make a Sunday lunch better? Her verdicts are kind, short and occasionally devastating. She covers tech, health and food for people who just want things to work.

Covers Tech, Lifestyle
