An Invitation to Tech Writers to Join Technology Hits on Medium
We owe our civilization to technology. Almost everything around us is manifested, affected, evolved, and simply a by-product of technology. In other words, technology is ubiquitous.
Are you a technician, philosopher, entrepreneur, entertainer, artist, futurist, scientist, polymath, or storyteller? If your writing practice includes one of these roles, your stories can shine on Technology Hits.
My aim is to introduce technology-related stories to a broad audience using my sizable network. Let me briefly introduce myself and how I qualify to run such an ambitious venture.
Brief background
I am a technologist who worked in large corporate organizations within the last four decades. Since I started at a young age with an informatics degree earned by a scholarship in Europe, technology has evolved, and every single day has added a new meaning to my life.
While technology stresses some of us, it plays a different role in my life. It relaxes and uplifts me. The pieces of technology nourish my brain cells and keep me active and joyful.
My deceased father used to call me “metalhead” depicting his semi-affection. He wanted me to deal with people rather than machines. To make him and myself happy, I choose a profession that deals with both human and machine intelligence. I attempted to be a polymath and am still working on it.
I am educated both as a technologist and scientist. From the technology point of view, I cover breadth, including an extensive array of technology domains with depth in some specialized areas such as Big Data, Cloud, Cybersecurity, Cognitive Computing, and IoT.
I work as an Enterprise Architect, certified at a distinguished level by the Open Group. From the scientific perspective, I cover machine and human intelligence under the discipline of cognitive science.
I have been consuming insights from the body of knowledge for my profession. Technology knowledge turned out to become a hobby for a long time.
During my studies, I started contributing to the body of knowledge in various formats, such as papers, articles, books, and blogs. I published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, delivered keynotes, and was recognized as an inventor with multiple patents.
Why Join Technology Hits?
Over the years, I developed a large reader base in various academic, industry, and public content platforms. As a social media evangelist since its inception, my audience wants to follow my technology-related content from a single source.
I failed to create such a platform before due to a hectic professional life. Now that I am semi-retired from the corporate world, it is an opportune time for me to pursue this dream.
My audience asks me to harvest technology-related content and disseminate it in a logical and digestible way. They trust my selections for their reading needs. I desire to make them happy and satisfied.
I thought the best way to achieve this goal would be a publication focusing on all aspects of technology by inviting contributors from different backgrounds. The outcome is expected to be synergistic.
You may think there are thousands of publications about technology. And ask how would my publication be different and add value.
I checked and verified with my audience that there is no publication overlapping with my goals. Yes, there are thousands of publications, but they touch on limited and specific aspects of technology.
My aim is to bring writers with backgrounds from all aspects of technology and create eclectic stories that can offer something for everyone. I have a connection with and access to thousands of writers on Medium and other platforms.
I designed this publication by considering the requirements of my audience. I analyzed the needs and desires of my audience using the Design Thinking approach. Because of the limitations, my findings turned into seven prominent roles. We call them personas in the Design Thinking language.
The seven personas in technology domains are technicians, philosophers, entrepreneurs, entertainers, artists, storytellers, and futuristic leaders.
Since Medium allows a maximum of seven tabs in publications, I added them as the amplifiers of stories that can be conveniently consumed by these personas. Here is the implementation of these personas on the publication interface.
I turned the personas into functions because I aim to harvest and publish stories within the scope of these seven logical functional areas. Here is an overview of these functions.
Seven Functional Areas for Technology Hits
1 — Technical
Stories in this domain include technical, engineering, and scientific aspects of technology. For example, the definition and description of a technology, architecture, design constructs, security, tools, operations, processes, and procedures can be part of this section.
How do these types of stories fit into this domain? The use of technology in all scientific disciplines, such as medicine, biotechnology, neuroscience, engineering, environment, climate, and so on, can be part of technical function.
Technology professionals such as data scientists, enterprise architects, solution designers, technical specialists, software developers, and system administrators can share their stories in this section.
2 — Philosophical
This function is dedicated to philosophers and deep thinkers. Ideas reflecting the pros and cons of technology constructs can well suit this domain.
I witnessed many readers interested in the philosophical aspect of technology. For example, ethics for artificial intelligence and robotics is a popular topic.
