NPR has announced the retirement of the All Tech Considered blog after nearly a decade of exploring the intersection of technology and society. Managing Editor Sara Kehaulani Goo highlighted that blogs have played a vital role in building audience engagement, but the current landscape favors diverse story discovery methods. From its inception, the blog sought to examine how technology impacts human interactions, often tackling themes like screen addiction and social norms around smartphone usage. It drew attention to both innovative gadgets and the complications technology introduces into daily life.
After nine years and 2,630 posts, the All Tech Considered blog is being retired, acknowledging that blogging no longer defines NPR's engaging approach to news.
NPR's Sara Kehaulani Goo noted that while blogs helped build digital audiences, audiences now prefer discovering stories through various channels instead.
The focus of All Tech was not on traditional gadget reviews but rather on exploring the human interactions shaped by technology and its complexities.
Elise Hu's question about smartphone norms reflects ongoing societal struggles with technology usage and its impact on personal interactions.
