Technology is involved in nearly every aspect of our daily lives. It’s also rapidly evolving. Every industry—not just tech—is feeling these effects. Whether you’re searching for a career in tech or a tech-adjacent sector, you’ll want to have more than just your resume, cover letter, and skills at the ready. Now more than ever, keeping up to date with tech news is vital.
Having an awareness of the latest tech trends can set you apart from other candidates. In particular, tech-focused and tech-adjacent companies are constantly looking for ways to stay relevant and remain competitive. Technology is often key to fulfilling those goals. Naturally, companies will want their employees to think about the future and understand where tech is headed. Allocating even a few minutes daily to tech news sources can help you impress employers and advance your career. So, that leaves the big question: where should you get your tech news?
Where do you go to see what’s trending? We’d be willing to bet Twitter is up there on your list. Many of us use the platform to keep up with our interests. If tech is one of yours, you won’t have any trouble finding Twitter accounts dedicated to fresh tech happenings and content. It’s also that place to follow the industry’s leading innovators.
Engadget
If tech gadgets are your thing, this is one site you’ll want to bookmark. Engadget spotlights all the latest tech products from the industry’s biggest names. The website’s Review and Buyers Guide sections are great for helping readers make more informed tech purchases, too. Engadget also dedicates a section to robotics, AI, transportation, and space news, aptly named Tomorrow. And if you don’t want to give everything a read-through, the site hosts three podcasts to make it even easier to get the news you want to hear.

You’ve likely heard of WIRED before, especially if you’ve ever seen its Autocomplete Interview video series.

Their content is easy to read and fun to share, which is a nice bonus.
