**Tech Today: A Chat with Gael Cooper, Tech Journalist and Nostalgic at Heart** In this digital age, it's not often that we come across someone who's equally passionate about technology and retro pop culture. Gael Cooper, a seasoned journalist and editor at CNET, is one such individual. Born and raised in the United States, Gael has a unique blend of journalistic experience and a love for the good old days. With a career spanning over three decades, Gael has worked with some of the biggest names in journalism, including Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and NBC News Digital. Her extensive experience has earned her a spot as a co-author of two nostalgic books: "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s," and "The Totally Sweet '90s." Gael's love for retro pop culture is evident in her writing style and her enthusiasm for technology. As a member of Generation X, she grew up in a time when technology was still in its infancy, but she's always been fascinated by its potential. In an era where technology is constantly evolving, Gael's insights into the tech world are invaluable. If you're a fan of old-school candies, Gael will be the first to tell you that she's a die-hard fan of Marathon candy bars. Who knows, maybe one day they'll make a comeback, and she'll be the first in line to grab a bar. In a world where technology is shaping our lives, Gael Cooper is a refreshing voice that combines nostalgia with a deep understanding of the tech world. Her experiences and insights are a testament to the power of technology and its ability to connect us all.
