12 predictions for tech comm in 2026

As we head into the new year, I'd like to make a few tech comm predictions for 2026. I'm focusing my predictions within tech comm and also basing them off my own experience. In this post I also broaden out my scope a bit and comment on some wider issues and trends in a more opinionated way. While I'm basing these ideas on emerging research, this is a blog post, not a peer-reviewed journal article, so my predictions are speculative and based on general vibes.
