Paul Taylor

I am Paul Taylor, the FT’s personal technology columnist, and I welcome questions about gadgets, gizmos, software and services. This is the place to ask personal technology related questions and hopefully get answers in plain English. It is also a home for short, sometimes sharp, reviews and observations about the personal tech industry. Comments and criticism are welcome. Read my latest column on my columnist page.

My answers to a selection of the questions will be published on this page. Send your questions and comments to paul.taylor@ft.com. - -
