Public Interest Technology (PIT) is a field of technology which prioritizes and incorporates public interest to benefit the public good by considering values that hold us together in society. Public interest places an emphasis on the well being of the society as a whole rather than just an individual or a marginalized group. Furthermore, it is a study of how technology influences societal experiences and aims to create harmony in government and society. 

PIT is becoming a more essential and integral part of today’s society. because technology is growing to hold more of a governing force. Thus, it is important that we have experts to impose social and political influence in our technology to ensure that technology further implements the societal values that represent the whole of a society.
