Chris Smith is a writer, a blogger and a freelancer. He started writing about gadgets as a hobby a couple years ago and before he knew it he was sharing his views on tech-related stuff with readers around the world. He is passionate about new technology and he will give you his piece of mind on whatever gadget you lay in front of him. From cell phones to cars and everything in between, from 'ancient' tech to new releases he is truly interested in everything that should, at least in theory, make our life easier.

Whenever he's not writing about gadgets he miserably fails to stay away from them, although he desperately tries. But that's not necessarily a bad thing (certainly not when writing for us, anyhow - ed)

Kevin has spent way to much of his life investigating and studying the technology, video game and new media industries.

While working on never finishing his bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Kevin's academic focus was on Cloud Computing and Network Security, which naturally lends well to Web 2.0, or at least that's what he tells himself. Despite not having anything important to do, Kevin prefers the cold efficiency of a BlackBerry vs. the warm fun of an iPhone. Before writing for TFTS, Kevin previously wrote about the video game MMORPG industry.

Robert Nelson can be described as a technology blogger, a new media junkie, an endurance athlete as well as a proud husband and father. More to the point though, he is just an all around geek.

In terms of technology, Robert has long been in love with all things tech and was fortunate enough to turn a passion and hobby into something he can get paid for doing. Basically, he is "that guy" who is always ready and willing to talk tech with anyone that will listen and fortunately for the readers here, most of his friends and family are all tech talked out.

When not writing for TFTS, Jeff can be found listening to music, dabbling in Photoshop, researching economics, going to school and enjoying life to its fullest.
