La forma de comunicarnos ha cambiado en los últimos tiempos. El agitado ritmo de la vida cotidiana ha incrementado el uso de los medios digitales. Es por eso que Technochatnews se montó en el tren digital y continúa innovando. Technochat empezó informando y generando noticias a través de un medio impreso, pero el vertiginoso auge de las telecom y el crecimiento tecnológico en el país y el mundo nos obligó a re-inventarnos. 9 Dejamos atrás el papel y saltamos a las ventanas digitales: Página web, Twitter: @technochatcr, Facebook y Youtube tv: technochatnews Sin embargo, nuestra misión se mantiene intacta: llevar a todos nuestros lectores y usuarios el acontecer diario del mundo tecnológico.

In fact, we’ve grown so quickly that in a short time we’ve managed to become the local technology reference. Communications have changed, becoming more constant and thus affecting daily life over the course of time. Techno Chat began as a printed publication but was forced to change to a digital format due to the huge wave of technical change. We now publish stories via our site, Twitter (@technochatcr), Facebook and YouTube (technochatnews). Nonetheless, our mission has not changed: To bring our audience news of what’s occurring daily in the world of technology. Because technology drives the development of every nation – whether we like it or not.
