Chris has been writing about tech related stuff for quite a few years now and says that, ever since he was a child, he was interested by all sorts of gadgets, giving some false hopes to his parents regarding becoming an engineer. Fortunately for out site, he didn't, so we have a writer with a major in psychology that loves his work and, hopefully, some of our readers for appreciating it. Oh, he also considers himself as being a very funny and spontaneous guy, saying he'd love to have a friend exactly like him, but he kinda lacks humbleness (and friends, since he spends so much time on the internet).
So much for being perfect, eh ?
