Author name: Gary Perspective Gadgets

I’m a retired Chartered Civil Engineer with over 40 years of experience designing and building systems that need to work reliably in the real world. I now bring that same practical, no-nonsense approach to consumer technology. I started Perspective Gadgets to help fellow seniors (and anyone who values straight talk) make sense of smart home devices, energy-saving gadgets, safety tech, and everyday tools that seem to get more complicated every year. Every post is based on thorough research, careful comparison of specifications and user feedback, and my engineering-trained eye for what’s likely to be genuinely useful, or not. You’ll get honest pros and cons, simple explanations without the jargon, and advice you can actually use. If something isn’t suitable for everyday life at our age, I’ll say so plainly. Questions or suggestions? Feel free to drop me a line at gary@perspectivegadgets.com.
