Russell Johnson is a 35 year old Database Administrator with a passion for technology and politics. He writes a small, personal blog called The Right Side of Tech where you will often find him
talking about social media and how politicians are using technology as a medium for spreading their platform, sometimes in an exploitative fashion, and to varying degrees of success. Russell has a conservative viewpoint on things going on in the world, especially politics and finances, and often speaks out with a unique, sometimes unpopular, always interesting point of view.
Now, more than ever and every day more than the last, people have access to information through the web, podcasts, YouTube and a million other technologies. We can easily track each day the things politicians say and do–the broken promises, the details behind the positions, and the dirty little secrets, if there are some. If there is contradiction or corruption or a change in position, all this technology has a way of exposing it and making it available in a way we have not seen in history. Just like many Americans, Russell uses a variety of media to stay on top of what is going on in politics and technology and how these two topics affect one another.
Russell was born and raised in Colorado but now lives in Round Rock, TX with his wife of five years and their toddler, Jacey. A transplant to Texas, Russell has loved every minute of his 8 years here and as they say, he wasn’t born here but got here as fast as he could.
