What’s this place all about? Well, our primary aim here at Zath is to get the best out of the latest technology products, software applications and hi-tech gadgets that are available to us. As well as finding the best video gaming options for when we just want to relax and chill out!
With that in mind, you can expect to find news, commentary, analysis, reviews and how-to guides on these tech-related topics. After all, who has the time to waste on technology, gadgets and games that are just not worth your while?
I’m Simon Barker (otherwise known as Zath) and I’m someone who has always liked to embrace technology and tries to fully utilise it to get all the benefits that I can, be it in terms of:
- Technology and getting the best from what the Internet has to offer from a technological point of view, be it general computing equipment such as laptops, online services or software applications.
- Hi-Tech Gadgets, such as mobile phones and a vast assortment of different internet-connected devices such as AI assistant speakers, smart home thermostats and WiFi security cameras. For example, I currently have a Google Pixel 2 smartphone which is essentially a pocket computer. These kinds of devices hold countless possibilities to enhance our lives.
- Gaming is also developing at great speed, be it from a technical point of view in terms of graphics, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), physics or game engines that you see on the latest gaming PCs and consoles. Using various combinations of these new technologies to create brand new gameplay possibilities.
Zath has been run as a UK tech blog for over 12 years now and as such we pride ourselves on providing a high level of expertise and knowledge to our readers. In fact, in recognition of that, we’ve received several award nominations over the years, such as the Computer Weekly IT Blog Awards for Best Gadget Blog. As well as being featured on many other websites’ “Best UK Tech Blogs” lists. Just do a quick search and you’ll see for yourself.
