The tech industry possesses enormous power and influence, touching almost every aspect of our lives, from the way we work and shop, to the way we communicate and travel.
Understanding the industry is not only vital to making sense of the world we live in but also the one we will inhabit tomorrow. Yet it can be hard to tell the signal from the noise, given the sheer volume of technology news out there and the complexity of the topic.
To address this problem, the BBC launched Tech Decoded, external – a technology newsletter that helps you to keep up with key trends and understand the context behind the stories.
From artificial intelligence to quantum computing, cryptocurrencies to cybersecurity, our coverage makes sense of the most important innovations in tech, enabling you to separate the hype from reality.
We also explore what is going on at the biggest tech companies – examining the motivations of billionaire bosses such as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg and the increasingly consequential relationships they have with governments around the world.
Each edition of Tech Decoded includes expert analysis from top BBC correspondents, who dig deeper into the latest news stories. We also curate the best of the BBC's technology content for your enjoyment – from online news and in depth features, to insightful podcasts, documentaries and digital videos.
Our coverage is global, stretching beyond Silicon Valley to explore how tech impacts the rest of world. The aim is always the same: to answer the most important questions and demystify complexity so readers get a fuller picture of this fascinating sector.
When you sign up, it'll be delivered:
On Mondays, BBC correspondents Lily Jamali in San Francisco and James Clayton in London share their expert insights on the stories that matter.
Then to round off the week on Friday (for readers outside the UK only), we bring you a viewpoint from one of our global experts about a tech topic in the news – or maybe one that's escaped the headlines.
Sign up for Tech Decoded here, external in you are outside the UK, and here if you are in the UK, and you'll hear from us soon.
