We publish many IT blogs and news stories each week here on My TechDecisions — and we wish this year could have seen more light-hearted ones. But the fact of the matter is that IT department in 2020 were just focused on getting through all the turbulence.
We published much less “fun” stories and much more serious, news-and-business-minded content this year.
But sometimes, try as we might, we don’t reach all of our audience for whatever reason. Maybe we didn’t Tweet enough, or maybe we published these at the wrong time for you. Whatever — we want to give you another chance to read some of the stories our editors feel are most important.
