September 18, 2020 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
Two weeks ago, when it was my turn to pick the top 5, I made a comment about themes. I’m making a stretch here, but this week’s theme is technical education. Three out of the five most popular news items this last week reported on upcoming technical events or publications.

Next week, Andy Shaughnessy is back with his top five recommendations.
