About
Welcome to The Wonder of Tech! This blog is designed for tech lovers, tech haters and anyone else who wants or needs to learn about the world of personal technology. This blog is designed to help you learn about the amazing and rapid developments in personal technology in plain English. I’ll let you know how tech can improve your life by making it more efficient, knowledgeable and fun! No such thing as a stupid question for this blog, we’re all here to learn.
The Wonder of Tech also appears weekly in The Philadelphia Inquirer Business Section in Your Tech: philly.com.
My name is Carolyn Nicander Mohr and I am a lawyer, wife and mother to three teenagers (including a set of twins). I am a polygadgetist who has been entranced with personal technology for over 20 years. I moved back to the US from the UK in 2010, after having lived there for nearly four years.
When I lived in the UK, I helped others who were living far from home use tech to make their lives easier. In 2006, when I arrived in the UK, most people didn’t know about Skype or GPS devices (called Sat Navs in the UK). They were racking up huge international phone bills and getting lost in their adopted country.
I began teaching groups of ex-pats how to use tech to improve their lives. When I moved back to the US, I started The Wonder of Tech so I could continue helping others see how tech can benefit them.
Join in the fun and learn how tech can truly be user-friendly. Sit back, relax and enjoy the blog!

I like the concept of your blog – to teach people to enhance their lives with proper use of technology. I laughed when I saw the term polygadgetist. It reminded me of the conversation I had at the gym resently. The woman on the nest treadmill, who was reading with her Nook, told me she had a “mild device addiction” !
Wonderoftech is simply wonderful! I stumbled upon you only a couple of days back, and I have grown to love this blog! Great informative tech posts, which are fun and easy to read. Really nice!

I found your article to be thought provoking and you also raise many good things to consider. I’m glad I came across this website and saw your article. It helped me out with a paper I had to write for a class I’m taking for my major at my university. I will be citing you as a source. Thanks for the great article.
Those are great awards and you deserve them all. You are my # 1 blogger.
One of the best tech blogs present in the decade….

Good stuff here. I can always use help with technology. It seems I just figure something out and along comes an update. Does anyone else feel the way I do in being reluctant to update anything? I’d love to keep the computer and phone I have now – forever – just to avoid the learning curve of new devices. I wish I could download your knowledge directly in to my own brain.
Hi Tracie, Welcome to The Wonder of Tech! It’s funny, some people can’t wait to get their new gadgets and others can’t bear to give up their old ones. The Wonder of Tech helps both types of people enjoy their tech!
