About
Understanding people through technology
Tact & Tech is a publication and community exploring technology through culture, ethics, design, and everyday life.
Founder
Founded by Ciana Tzuo
I grew up with the internet. It shaped how I see the world and the relationships I care about.
I've watched the disillusionment around tech—and how our perspectives on it keep changing. Tact & Tech is my way of bringing back a grounded optimism: believing technology can still support connection, creativity, and the ways we show up for each other.
Mission
Tact & Tech explores how technology changes the way we think, create, connect, and live—and how we can design a more human relationship with it.
Through journalism, conversations, workshops, and creative experiments, we examine technology not just as a tool, but as a cultural and human force.
Foreword
Dear reader,
Welcome to Tact&Tech. We live in a time where technology almost feels mystic, promising efficiency and intelligence. It is easy to see technology as inevitable and even god-like. But it is not a force of nature. It is a response shaped by human choices, values, and trade-offs.
To build a machine is to encode a worldview. In this fast-moving world, the goal is to stay grounded, to build not only smarter but more ethical systems, and question not just what is possible, but what is worthy of pursuing.
This is an invitation to take a closer look, think critically, and engage with the future with an intention to help shape it.
Stay curious. Stay critical. Stay ahead of the trend.
Our approach
Technology is not only an engineering problem. It is a human one. We look at the people, cultures, institutions, and values that technology reshapes—and ask not only what it can do, but what it should do for us.
