Welcome to a special edition of You Asked: The Editor’s Cut. With the chaos of Black Friday and Cyber Monday in full swing, we thought it would be refreshing to take a step back and reflect on something a bit more personal.
The right piece of tech, especially when gifted, can do more than entertain or simplify life — it can spark creativity, ignite a new passion, or even shape someone’s career in unexpected ways. Whether it’s the thrill of unboxing a gadget you’ve been dreaming about or the surprise of receiving something you never knew you needed, these moments tend to stick with us.
So, we posed a question that takes us beyond the hustle of holiday shopping: What tech-related holiday gift have you received that had a profound impact on you — your love of tech, electronics, or even your career?
To help answer this, Caleb invited three of his colleagues to discuss their insights on the topic:
- Giovanni Colantonio, Senior Editor, Gaming
- Jacob Roach, Lead Reporter in Computing
- John Higgins, Senior Editor, A/V
So grab your coffee (or your shopping list) and stick around — this one’s going to be a fun trip down memory lane!
