If you’re in the market for a new bit of technology, whether you want to upgrade your computer with the latest and greatest or you want to see what cell phone technology is coming out in the near future, the Internet is a great place to do your research and save your money on your prepaid credit cards. You’ll find thousands of web pages reviewing new technology, comparing gadgets, and telling you if something is worth the money spent.
So, where do you go for technology reviews online? Some of the best places to look include:
- CNET. This site is a one-stop shop for everything technology related, from reviews on various products (including computers, cameras, cell phones, and televisions to name a few) as well as news on upcoming products and emerging technology. The site is also broken down into helpful categories by product type and is loaded with videos for the more visually oriented.
- Technology Review. This site, published by Ivy League technology school MIT, not only includes reviews on cutting-edge technology, but also provides information on emerging technology in all fields, from aerodynamics to home computers to car audio.
- Consumer Reports. This site has reviews from professionals and experts as well as from average users. It’s a great place to go to hear unbiased reviews and learn more about different types of technology and websites from online casino games to role-playing video games.
- Social networking. If you have a social networking page, consider using that for recommendations and reviews from friends and colleagues. A simple status asking your “friends” if there is a particular camera brand they would or would not recommend could bring you hundreds of responses from people who know firsthand and who you are more likely to trust.
If you want to research technology to learn more or get reviews before you buy, these sites are some of the best places online you can turn to.
