Searchlight List of Lists: The best, worst of 2013 and what's next

If you do something more than once and do it at the same time of year, it’s reasonable to consider it an “annual event.” Therefore, welcome to the annual Searchlight List of Lists! It’s my business to write for and about CIOs, so I know you haven’t got time to sift through all those year-end best/worst lists and future predictions. Hence the List of Lists — a handy roundup of roundups all in one spot. I’m curious to see if you agree or disagree with the oft-shared contention that 2013 was a crummy year for technology. And I’m equally eager to hear what you think will be the big trends in 2014. So, drop me a note in the comments when you, you know, have a “free moment.”  Happy New Year!
