Welcome

T3’S MISSION

Editor’s letter

After three years of steering the good ship T3 around

WKH&DULEEHDQRIWHFKUDLGLQJFRPSDQLHVIRUWKHLUĆQHVW

wares, I’m giving up the wheel. I’m not leaving T3 – you’ll

still see me across the page on our little Most Wanted

wall – but I won’t be editing the magazine any more. I’m

handing over the reins (I don’t know why this ship has

reins, let alone reins and a wheel, but stay with me here)

to Josh, who’s already helped make this very issue

happen, so you’re in safe hands.

I actually started here immediately after 2017’s Hot 100

LVVXHVRbWRHQGKHUHIHHOVOLNHDYHU\QHDWĆQLVKWRWKHFLUFOH

The Hot 100 is always one of the most fun and frantic

issues to pull together – from coming up with our gigantic

longlist of potential entries, to spending hours locked in a

room ranking them until we have a top 100, to deciding

what order those 100 should be in... and then the process

of deciding a number one, which takes almost as long again.

It’s been really satisfying to work on this year’s list as my

last issue as Editor, because I get to cover the whole gamut

of gadgets one more time, from practical health tech to

weird new startups to game-changing advancements to

just very cool-looking gear. I’ve loved bringing all this stuff

to you, and I’m so grateful to all of our readers – thank you.
