Robin Raskin (born May 14, 1954) is an American writer, author, publisher, TV personality and conference and events creator best known for her ability to simplify technology for non-technologists. ==Early publications== Raskin began writing about technology in the 1980s. Her first technology piece appeared in a 1984 issue of InfoWorld. The article, True Confessions, documented her attraction to technology as an equalizer for women because ultimately it would provide them freedom without shackling them to an office. Raskin became a frequent contributor to Family Computing, a Scholastic publication popular throughout the ‘80s. She frequently tested products, writing stories about raising kids in a digital world, including attempts to empower the younger generation with technology. In 1986, Raskin began contributing to PC Magazine, then a bi-monthly magazine that had been recently purchased by Bill Ziff. Under the tutelage of Editor in Chief, Bill Machrone, Raskin began creating feature stories, including a major comparison of statistical software packages. In 1990, after her three children reached school age, Raskin accepted the job of Senior Editor at PC Magazine and ran the First Looks section of the magazine. From there she became Executive Editor and finally Editor serving under Michael Miller, Editor in Chief. In 1995 Raskin became the Editor in Chief of FamilyPC Magazine, a joint venture between the Disney Publishing Company and Ziff Davis Corporation. Along with founder of Family Fun Magazine, Jake Winebaum, Raskin developed the concept of family-tested products, where real families would live with, review technology and earn the product a family-tested seal of approval. FamilyPC went on to become the premier publication for the technology savvy family. At its height, the magazine grew to a circulation of more than 700,000 readers and was supplemented with exhibits at Disney World’s Innovations. In 1999 Raskin was named Best Columnist by the Computer Press Association, and also that year she was recognized as one of the top ten tech journalists by MC (Marketing Computers) Magazine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robin Raskin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
