Technology is a promising field and has been since time immemorial. It is amazing how innovations keep coming up every other day. When you thought the world is saturated with creations that no man can think beyond the current inventions, something spectacular just comes up. Even with these creations, there are levels of quality, pricing, and many other classification criteria consumers use to settle for a product. The best decisions are made based on concrete information available. One source of this critical data is Linus Tech Tips. The YouTube channel is all about technology and is one of four created and managed by Linus Sebastian.
