It's a device for teaching and explaining religious topics that will sometimes be studied for generations.
The encyclicals might signal a change of direction, but usually they aren't that dramatic. They are more likely to be course corrections, if a Pope feels that he must comment on a certain topic.
To me it's interesting that Pope Leo feels so strongly about the use of technology that it merits being the subject of his latest encyclical, when he could be focusing on the escalation of war, hunger, poverty, or other topics.
