Les Numériques: 20 years and a lot of pride

Born in the fertile brains of Vincent, Mathias and Florentthe concepts of Digital pixelated on September 20, 2004 with the founding idea of ​​”make information on electronic products accessible to as many people as possible, without technical prerequisites“. Of course, it is the famous “face to face” which makes the site unique at its beginnings. Also very consulted, the comparisons which must “provide the basics to motivate a purchase, inform the reader, give a frank, motivated recommendation on at least one productA mantra that, 20 years later, is still relevant and punctuates each of our days.

The big story of the evolution of the site

It’s impossible to spend two decades on the Internet without evolving. And there have been changes during these 20 exciting years!

From a simple two-room apartment located in the 10th arrondissement of Paris — where I carried out my first photo tests — to the headquarters of Reworld Media in Boulogne, the navigation was not always smooth, but it was often full of emotions. The Digitalsit is a human adventure as much as a technical one.

Over the years, the editorial team has expanded with experts to cover an ever-increasing number of areas in a society undergoing a full digital transformation. In addition to the “traditional” computer, photo, audio, and telephony sections, the essential home, sports & health, and mobility sections have been added to support its readers as closely as possible with their research.

The magazine has always been able to anticipate the arrival of new technologies and adapt to the emerging needs of readers. The Digitals is a living and protean organism and you can also find the magazine on X, Twitch, FacebookWhatsApp or even LinkedIn. The editorial office, a unique and very singular place, has welcomed many editors with personalities who have left a deep mark The Digitals through their knowledge, their know-how and their interpersonal skills.
