technology news

Technology News is, as the name suggests, news about technology. Technology itself refers to computers, the internet and an entire array of electronic devices, gadgets and gizmos.

Technology is a very popular subject throughout the blogsphere, because early adopters of blogging tended to be like early adopters of everything else - tech-minded folk who blogged about what they knew best. Technology News is any breaking story involving tech, such as new product announcements and reviews, interest-worthy debate on emerging technologies, research, and processes, as well as general news and opinion that relates in some fashion to technology.

Technology can be found on slashdot.org, gizmodo.com, techcrunch.com, engadget.com, and boingboing.net, to name just a few of the many websites out there.

It can also be found on the "Technology" sections of traditional news sites and blogs, like news.yahoo.com, news.cnet.com, and news.zdnet.com.
