Popular science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as ‘gadget writing’ when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there had been, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for ordinary readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market today.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We all have our own obsessive specialties – from high-end audio to video games, cameras and more – but when we review devices outside our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to find trusted voices and opinions to help people get the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to cut through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can cause so readers don’t have to.
