Sometimes its not worth it, you'll get drowned in a sea of noise. Better to focus on a few tech topics you're interested in via niche communities, twitter accounts, etc...

For general stuff, I follow TechCrunch and The Information.

These are some of the ways I stay updated with Technology trends.

1. LinkedIn - I keep surfing through LinkedIn to understand what's happening in the Market and to discover new products/startups and what they are solving. You can follow a few hashtags on Technology that have decent followers, which will help you to a great extent

2. Being part of a tech community like Product Hunt helps. Even if you don't want to contribute but still consume the tech news, PH is the place.

3. Install Inshorts and select Technology and Business as Topics. You can update yourself with good business and tech news
