How do you keep up-to-date on new technologies and trends in this industry?
A potential employer will gauge 'fit' by ensuring that you are passionate about your particular industry. Show the interviewer that you are passionate about technology by openly discussing how you stay on top of trends. In tech, there is a multitude of variety when it comes to educating yourself and staying up to date on changes. Because tech changes by the minute, it is important to lean on reliable resources.
"I keep up to date on new technologies and trends through a variety of sources. I follow three different blogs from industry leaders and read multiple articles online per week from reliable sources such as TechCrunch and Mashable."
"I keep up on new trends in tech by reading MIT Technology Review whenever possible. I also follow a few of my favorite influencers on social media, such as Elon Musk, Guy Kawasaki, and Kara Swisher."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Luckily since I'm a computer science student, keeping abreast with the latest technology is part and parcel of my student life. In my spare time, I watch videos, read blogs and browse LinkedIn to keep myself updated on new technological trends.

Great! There were two commas missing from your response, but other than those slight edits, you have a very solid response. An interviewer would favor your trend saturation.
Luckily, the Computer Science educational tract is primarily founded upon keeping abreast of the latest technological trends. In my spare time, I saturate myself with field trends via videos, blog articles, and browsing LinkedIn.
