David Nield
Dave has several decades of experience in tech journalism, during which he's written about hardware and software across mobile, computing, smart home, home entertainment, wearables, gaming, the web and more besides – from detailed reviews of the latest devices to expert how to guides for getting more out of our tech.
As a result of all that writing, you can find his work in multiple places online, in print, and even in the occasional scientific paper, across major tech titles including T3, TechRadar, Gizmodo and Wired. He also has experience covering some of the biggest consumer tech events of the year, including MWC and IFA.This career comes in a large part from a passion for writing, and an interest in technology that started at a very early age – back in the days of Amstrad computers, video games that loaded via cassette tape, and phones that had to have wires connected to them.
Outside of work, he enjoys long walks in the countryside, skiing down mountains, watching football matches (as long as his team is winning) and keeping up with the latest books and movies. If he had to pick one social network that he probably spends too much time on, it would be Twitter.
