From the President

Happy December Everyone!

I’m finding it very hard to believe that we’ve rolled round to December again, and also feeling not quite ready for Christmas or the end of the year. I’m sure our strange (and wet) December weather is partly to blame for this.

2018 was a good year, and a busy year for our organisation. Our Board are already making plans for next year and beyond!

Let's Tech Communicate

This month we check out AR and VR, Google admits chatbots were a bad idea, we list links for royalty-free and free photos, pictures and graphics, we take a primer in video creation and finally answer the big question “what is life as a technical writer like in 2018?”. And finally, Grant says "So long and thanks for all the fish".

Thank you, Grant, for all your hard work on Let's Tech Communicate over the years!
