A teenager reviewing gadgets in his bedroom became someone the biggest tech companies fear.

Marques Brownlee was a high schooler in New Jersey who loved taking tech apart.

In 2008 he started posting reviews, filmed on a cheap camera in his bedroom.

His early videos were rough and unseen, but he kept uploading, week after week.

He explained complex tech in plain, honest words, and people trusted what he said.

As his audience grew, he saved up and made his reviews look studio-quality.

He became the most trusted tech reviewer in the world, with millions tuning in.

Soon his honest verdict could lift a new gadget, or quietly sink it.

The same companies he once admired now waited nervously for his review.

A kid filming in his bedroom had become one of the most powerful voices in tech.
