About

For Humans starts from a simple observation: technology has reached every corner of everyone’s life, but the people who explain it almost always write for those who already understand it. The result is that millions of people use phones, apps, online banking and AI assistants every day without anyone ever having calmly explained how they work and how to feel safe with them.

I try to do the opposite. The problem isn’t you, it’s the jargon. Every article starts from a question anyone might ask, explains the hard words in a separate box and walks you through it step by step, with your phone or computer in front of you.

The four sections

Tech for Humans covers phones, computers, apps and everyday services: how to use them better, how to fix problems, what to buy and what to skip.

Cyber for Humans is digital security explained from scratch, from passwords to scams, from backups to privacy.

AI for Humans tells the story of artificial intelligence without the science fiction: what it really is, how to use it, when not to trust it.

But what is it for? takes something everyone is talking about and answers the question almost nobody asks, which is whether a normal person actually needs it.

The rules I set myself

Zero prerequisites: if you can turn on a phone, you know enough. I always explain the hard words, even the ones that look obvious to me, because they aren’t. One step at a time, with the exact menu names to tap. At the top of every article you get how long it takes and what you need to hand, and the sources sit at the bottom with their links.

When I get something wrong I correct it, and I say so. Sponsored content, if there ever is any, will be labelled as such, and I don’t take payment for reviews or opinions.

Who is behind it

My name is Andrea Bissi. I work in IT in Italy, and technology interests me outside working hours too. For Humans (in Italian: Per Umani) is a personal project, non-profit, published in Italian and English. It is not a company, it sells nothing, and I pay its costs myself.

For tips, corrections or proposals you can write to help@perumani.com, or use the contact page. If an article didn’t help you solve your problem, tell me and I’ll rewrite it better.
