About the author

Meet Chip J. Norton

Thirty years in technology. Still explaining why turning it off and on again works.

Chip J. Norton has spent more than 30 years working in technology, watching the industry evolve from the early days of personal computing to smartphones, cloud services and artificial intelligence. He has seen just about everything: painfully slow computers, temperamental printers, the arrival of the internet in everyday homes and more technical disasters than he cares to count.

Having worked in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, Chip brings an international perspective to his writing. He understands that what works in one country may not work quite the same way in another — whether that means terminology, everyday services, regulations or practical systems.

His approach is simple: explain what works, why it works and how to get it working without making people feel stupid.

Through his Now We Are Adulting series, Chip turns decades of experience into straightforward, occasionally sarcastic guides for people who just want to get things done. No unnecessary jargon, no complicated lectures — just practical advice, a little humour and the reassuring voice of someone who has probably seen the problem before.

Technology changes. Common sense shouldn't have to.
