The internet is saturated with blogs that report on the latest gadget releases and technological developments. If you’ve made it here, you’re probably familiar with at least one of them, be it Engadget, Gizmodo, Techcrunch, or Boy Genius Report. The best of these stand out from the pack due to their excellent writing and sharp wit, yet they all dedicate themselves to reporting the latest news, not analyzing its wider implications.
That’s where Arteculate comes in. We differentiate ourselves from the pack by contextualizing developments in the technological realm, leveraging our knowledge of society’s relationship with technology in order to explain the larger consequences of the industry’s latest news. By reading Arteculate, you won’t just become aware of what’s current; you’ll start to understand how new technologies might find themselves entwined within our daily lives. You’ll also see why technologies can fail to take hold, what happens when engineers are out of touch with consumers, and how seemingly innocuous design decisions can shape the way we interact with technology.
But Arteculate doesn’t just want to stand on its soapbox. We want your help! So register to comment, and tell us if you have any burning topics you’d like to see us write about. Moreover, if you’re interested in submitting an article to Arteculate, please contact our staff.
