Welcome

T 3 ’S MISSION

Editor’s letter

If there’s one thing the last six months has made me

realise, it’s how much more connected our homes are

these days. Don’t get me wrong: lockdown did see my

already rusty conversational skills corrode into

linguistic dust. And there was that one weekend I

that much further away.

While lockdown still hasn’t been easy, the technology in

our homes has kept us closer than many of us thought

possible, not only allowing us to stay in contact but join each

other for drinks, check out livestreamed gigs and standup

and discover that, literally, everything is cake. Our

increasingly digital homes have been one of the saving graces

of what would have otherwise been a grim year.

And that’s why the latest issue of T 3 is dedicated to

bringing more connected tech into our homes. We’re sharing

all the smart home gadgets you can’t afford to miss, from

bells and bulbs to speakers and security cams. Not only that

but we also show you the best tech for keeping an eye on

your pets and bring you some of the smartest new TVs

available for under £2,000.
