Andy Georgescu is a freshman at Cornell and is, among other things, a DJ, amateur photographer, graphic designer and airbrusher, a boxer, and of course, a gadget head. Instead of focusing on the nitty gritties of the devices he reviews though, he chooses to write more about their integration with society and their practical applications — after all, according to him, someone knowing how something works is useless if he or she doesn’t know how and when to use it.
