Colorado Tech Weekly #342: 2020 Will Be A Lot like 2019

Colorado Tech Weekly brings you the top 10 technology stories of the past week and the best upcoming local tech events every Monday morning!
When I started doing Colorado Tech Weekly I would take a week to make predictions for the next year and review my predictions for the current year but I stopped doing it because it’s really hard to do. However I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that 2020 will be a lot like 2019 but more in the same way that 2019 was like 2018 but more. I hope I am not surprised.
Have a great week and Happy New Year!
