About The Human Cost Of Tech
Technology shapes nearly every part of modern life. And yet, its harms are often scattered, downplayed, or buried beneath hype and marketing.
This blog exists to bring those harms into focus.
Our goal is simple: to capture and examine news, research, and reporting on how modern technology—especially platforms, algorithms, and AI—is damaging individuals, societies, and entire countries. From mental health and screen addiction to surveillance, misinformation, and the concentration of power, we collect these stories in one place and unpack what they really mean.
Each post starts with an existing article, then adds clear, grounded commentary that connects the dots—explaining not just what is happening, but why it matters and who is affected. We write for non‑technical readers who sense that something is off with today’s tech, even if they can’t quite put their finger on it.
This is not a tech‑hating blog.
And it’s not a hype blog either.
We believe technology can improve lives—but only if it’s held accountable, designed responsibly, and kept in check by an informed public. Until then, the damage deserves scrutiny, clarity, and honest discussion.
If the future is being built with code, then it’s worth asking: who is it really being built for?
