I’m Alex. I’m a Content Manager at Just About, and my focus is on our Tech, EVE Online, and Film & TV communities. I’ll be setting bounties and making sure things run smoothly here in Just About Tech. Feel free to ask me anything at any time. You can tag me using Alex Sinclair.
My hobbies are travel, photography, creative writing, and gaming. It’s in this last passion - gaming - where my interest in tech currently lies. I’ve worked as a games journalist for many years, and I’m fascinated by the potential of technologies like VR and Unreal Engine 5 to disrupt the games industry in exciting ways. I also used to work as a freelance copywriter, which has given me entry-level knowledge in aspects of tech that I never expected to know about, like computational chemistry or the use of bluetooth in theme parks.
I consider myself to be somewhere between a technological optimist and technological pessimist. Our futures are inextricably woven with and dependent on new tech, and I believe technological advancement alone has the power to save us from some of the world’s most pressing issues. However, I also have my doubts over the direction that some tech is headed in.
I’m not all doom and gloom though, I promise. I love tech’s ability to make life that little bit easier. Case in point: my favourite piece of tech is sitting on my bedside table. It’s an alarm clock that wakes me up with a freshly brewed coffee. It’s a real gamechanger, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
