About this listen

 Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk is all about closing the gap between the devices in our hands and the lives we live together, face to face. In a world where average daily screen time regularly climbs past six hours, technology segments on stations like Newstalk in Ireland, where technology correspondent Jess Kelly unpacks new research on screen habits, show how hungry people are for grounded, real-world conversations about digital life. Newstalk’s Tech Takeover features underscore that many of us don’t just want more tech; we want smarter, more intentional tech use in our daily routines.

Across education, healthcare, and work, that shift is now playing out in concrete ways. Architecturally Speaking in the Rochester Business Journal reports how immersive classrooms for nursing and cybersecurity students use wraparound screens, responsive lighting, and soundscapes to simulate real emergencies, transforming passive content into lived experience. Instead of staring at flat diagrams, nursing students now diagnose high-fidelity mannequins that breathe, speak, and respond to treatment, while cybersecurity students step into a “cyber range” where global data feeds, social media, and market signals react in real time to simulated attacks. These environments show what it truly means to move beyond the screen: the technology fades into the background and the human skills rise to the surface.

At the policy level, The Irish Times describes Ireland at an artificial intelligence crossroads, struggling to balance rapid AI innovation with regulation, housing, and talent retention. That debate is increasingly happening in public forums, conferences, and live town-hall style conversations, where engineers, policymakers, and communities hash out how AI should shape work, creativity, and civic life. These in-person exchanges are a natural fit for an IRL tech talk format, where complex issues like algorithmic bias, job automation, and data rights can be unpacked in plain language, with room for questions, disagreement, and nuance.

Together, these developments reveal a broader cultural turn. Listeners are no longer satisfied with glossy demos and abstract hype. They want to touch, test, and challenge the tools remaking their workplaces, schools, and cities. Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk steps into that demand, creating a space where the future is not just announced, but interrogated, experienced, and reimagined in real time.
