About MINDFUL TECHNICS
Greetings! My name is Christopher Cocchiarella, and thanks for visiting this site and blog. As a regular contributor here, I aim to foster creative conversations about technology, with the goal of figuring out how use our tools, machines, and media more mindfully or intelligently in our daily lives. You can read more about me, as well as guest contributors at MINDFUL TECHNICS, below.

Christopher Cocchiarella
Over the years, I’ve worked in technical writing and editing, user experience content strategy, learning design, and conversational AI. In these professions, I’ve seen how technological innovations can change many aspects of our lives, sometimes in unexpected ways. So, as a hobby, I created this blog to track my thoughts about our relationship with technology.
My thinking draws not just on my work experience but also upon my educational background, which you read more about on my About me page.
