About Technology Tango

Who writes Technology Tango, what it covers and why it is unrelated to the earlier site on this domain.

Technology Tango explains consumer technology in plain language: gadgets, apps, subscriptions, loyalty points and how cashback and rebate offers are really calculated.

Who writes it

The explainers are written by Corin Ashdown, a pen name for a writer who reads the small print so readers do not have to. No professional qualification in finance or engineering is claimed.

About this address

This site is independent. The domain was once home to a personal technology website, and later stood empty. That earlier site and its owner are not connected to this one, and nothing here is written by or on behalf of them.

How examples work

General definitions are linked to Wikipedia so you can check them. Numbers in worked examples are illustrations, chosen to make the arithmetic easy, and are clearly labelled as such.
