Rob Pegoraro covers the problems and possibilities of consumer technology–computers, gadgets, telecom, social media, apps, and other things that beep or blink–for Fast Company, PCMag, Wirecutter and other outlets. He also speaks frequently about them at conferences, including Web Summit, SXSW and CES. Pegoraro has met most of the founders of the Internet and once received a single-word e-mail reply from Steve Jobs.
