Because you have clicked this story, I will assume you have moved into your first dorm room, continue to live in a small apartment because modern rent charges are stacked against us, or you have a perverse fascination with confined spaces. Whatever the case, welcome.

Normally on What’s Tech we focus on a single topic. Tiny computers. Encryption. No Man’s Sky. But today, my friend and colleague Ross Miller and I will have a conversation about the simple ways tech can improve dorm life. We’d like to experiment with the show’s structure now and then, so feel free to let us know what you think in the comments.
