Just this week, Jonathan McKee spoke on the importance of reconnecting in real life, sharing actionable tips for reducing screen time without demonizing devices. He suggested that the real challenge isn’t to eliminate technology, but to model healthy balance, using digital tools wisely while carving out regular moments for face-to-face connection. McKee emphasized that such practices—like device-free dinners or intentional tech breaks—aren’t anti-tech, but help listeners build resilience in themselves and their families, preparing young people to navigate digital life responsibly. According to Jonathan, these small habits add up, equipping a new generation to manage the pressures of constant connectivity, not by rejecting tech, but by using it more mindfully.
This theme resonated across other tech gatherings recently, with IRL tech events highlighting a broader appetite for community and in-person engagement. In major cities worldwide, from New York to London, live summits in July have drawn record crowds eager to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming customer service, optimizing business outcomes, and reshaping the nature of work. GDS Group reports dozens of IRL sessions on leveraging generative AI for business breakthroughs and powering campaigns with connected data. Attendees are sharing that while AI promises new efficiencies, the most meaningful interactions still happen when people come together, bridging digital divides through conversation and collaboration.
Social media also buzzed this week with bold public tech demonstrations—like TechCirveeFest’s call in Ibadan, encouraging people to “strike a pose, talk tech, and talk smart life”—underscoring that technology is ultimately about improving human experience, not replacing it. Tech events such as Dublin Tech Circuit, founded by students for students, continue to provide hands-on forums where newcomers and experts alike learn, network, and build a sense of belonging that digital platforms alone can’t replicate.
The world’s biggest programming events, including EuroPython and PyCon, remain strongholds for the open exchange of ideas, even as virtual sessions proliferate. Their hybrid formats are proof that while digital tools enable global collaboration, they don’t satisfy the fundamental need for tangible connection. At Chicago’s CHI IRL, organizers keep a steady stream of free community events, reinforcing that tech’s future is brightest when anchored in shared public spaces.
As conversations about healthy tech habits expand, so too does the collective understanding that true innovation isn’t just about the next big digital breakthrough—it’s about empowering listeners to harness technology authentically. Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk embodies this shift. Each episode is a reminder that you can shape your relationship with technology, choosing when to connect, when to unplug, and how to foster deeper relationships both on and offline.
