TechNerd22

Jonathan MacDonald (born: 2008 [age 13]), better known online as TechNerd22 (formerly XxJTxX and ilovecars808) is a Canadian gaming YouTuber. He has been doing Roblox content since the age of 6 and he does still occasionally play Roblox. He also has a second channel where he normally does technology content, but sometimes he does other things.

History (2014-2018)
Jonathan has wanted a YouTube channel ever since he was 4. He does not remember the exact events, but in late 2014, he convinced his parents to let him have a YouTube channel, under his first name and his middle name. Jonathan does not want his middle name to be shown online anymore, although it can still be seen on parts of his channel. His intial content was Roblox videos and songs that can be heard in the Just Dance series of games. In 2015, he also started playing Just Dance Now, Jumpstart Artist, games on the Canadian Nick Jr. website, and games on the Treehouse TV website, although the majority of his content was still Roblox. He also learned to edit in Windows Movie Maker 2012. At some point, Jonathan decided to rename his channel to XxJTxX, "JT" was an acronym for his first and middle name. He continued to make videos, however they were very bad due to using Screencastify on a computer from 2005. In 2017, following the discontinuation of Windows Movie Maker, Jonathan switched to a pirated copy of PowerDirector. In 2017, he got a new laptop, but it was still quite old and was unable to run OBS Studio or built-in Windows recording tools. During this time, Jonathan ran out of ideas for content, as all he had was his Galaxy S5 Neo phone, which only could store a couple games or record his TV and his Lenovo Thinkpad T420, which was unable to record content, and he didn't upload much content until 2018.

History (2018-)
Jonathan's little content problem remained until August 2018. In July 2018, he created a second channel just to upload a video of fireworks on his city. This video has since been privated as Jonathan does not want people to know what city he lives in, and the video mentioned his city. He also created a Twitter during this time. On August 10, 2018, Jonathan made a video saying he was going on a hiatus, due to the fact his laptop was not powerful enough to do anything and it was falling apart. He said content would not continue until at least Christmas Day, when he may have been getting a gaming laptop. The next day, he attempted to repair the Wi-Fi card in his Thinkpad, but failed and then the system stopped responding to any keyboard presses, including the power button, making the computer unable to turn on. A few weeks later, he got a refurbished HP Elitebook, which wasn't capable enough of running OBS Studio, but could do the Windows internal recording software, however, due to the courier delivering the computer damaging it, it needed to be returned and replaced. However, his parents were very busy, and it took 3 months for them to send the computer back. Once the computer was replaced, the replaced computer was also damaged, and needed to be returned again. The company selling the system said they had no more of the model in stock, so he purchased a used Dell Latitude E6530 on Amazon. The computer arrived New Year's Eve, and it was capable of running OBS Studio. Content resumed on December 31, 2018. On May 16, 2019, he renamed his channel to TechNerd22. Once again, on December 25, 2019, he got a new computer. Starting in mid-2020, he'd be constantly swip-swapping computers, due to parts dying, and the rest of his family members having system issues. He got a permanent machine in March 2021. On May 16, 2020, he switched to a pirated copy of Adobe Premiere Pro, due to continued issues with PowerDirector.
