When I write an article for Lifewire, I always try to put myself in the reader’s shoes, no matter the topic. While technological advancements continue to enrich our lives, understanding how to get the most out of the latest apps, gadgets, and other products isn’t always as easy and convenient as we’d like. It’s my job to remove any uncertainty and make it as easy as possible for our readers to get what they need and get on with their day.
