About Us

The Sociable, dissecting technology’s relationship with society.

The Sociable is a technology news publication that picks apart how technology transforms society and vice versa. We delve deep into how technology is used by governments, businesses, and citizens of the world while analyzing its ethical, social, and philosophical implications.

Our mission is to discern truths, wherever they lie. We not only inform what is being done with technology but to empower a conscious and curious public by showing how and why technology is being implemented and whether these policies align with the values of a free society.

“What is eternal is circular, and what is circular is eternal.” – Aristotle

The Sociable was founded by Darren McCarra and Piers Scott in September 2010. It quickly became one of the most popular technology websites in Ireland, winning the Best Technology Site at the 2012 Irish Web Awards and Best Technology Blog at the 2013 Blog Awards Ireland.

Today, the publication is headed by Editor Tim Hinchliffe and has expanded to include coverage of technology-related issues in the United States and across the globe.

We explore how knowledge & technology intersect to build a better, more sustainable future for humanity. If you’re interested in ideas that push the needle, and future-proofing yourself for the new information age, join us every Friday. Brains Byte Back guests include founders, CEOs, and other influential individuals making a big difference in society, with past guest speakers such as New York Times journalists, MIT Professors, and C-suite executives of Fortune 500 companies.

In this episode of Brains Byte Back, we explore a topic that touches all of us at some point in life: inheritance and the difficult process of managing a loved one’s finances after they pass away. Those who have experienced it would agree that time takes on a new meaning, whether it’s time spent with your loved one or time spent grieving.

Erick sits down with Saeid Kian, the CEO and co-founder of Ribbon, to discuss how his company is looking to give that time back to families by limiting the hours spent completing paperwork, visiting financial institutions, or making multiple calls.

Saeid’s journey to creating Ribbon is a personal one. The loss of his father introduced him to an outdated process he encountered while dealing with money matters following his passing. We’ll hear how his frustration led to a solution that’s not only changing how families navigate the financial obligations of a loved one but also how his time is providing significant value to credit unions by creating a modernized process that’s prepared, efficient and empathic.

It’s a valuable conversation on how technology can make one of life’s hardest moments a little easier.
