Year in Review: Digital Events in 2019
What happened in the world of IT? Who deserves notoriety for their behavior? It is time to review 2019, and, while we are at it, make a mockery of the most noteworthy. After all, the world is already messed up, so at least let's have a bit of fun.
Reminder: The awards generate no money, no distinction, and only a fleeting mention on the Google search engine. There is no appeal process or double-checking of the votes by certified public accountants. As with prior years, three criteria determine an award. The event must occur in 2019. It must have something to do with digital technology. The event must deserve at least one sassy and snarky comment.
This year the awards are nicknamed "The IMP" to honor the fifty-year anniversary of the first internet message in October of 1969. Those pioneers used Interface Message Processors (IMPs) to achieve their login. Just trying to be, well, impish.
Enough said. Time for the awards!
