Welcome to Industry Focus, a podcast that dives into a different sector of the stock market every day.

It's Friday, December 22nd, and we're looking back at the year in tech.

I'm your host, Dylan Lewis, and I'm joined on Skype by fool.com senior

tech specialist Evan New. Evan this is the last I.F. show before the

Christmas holiday. What are you doing with the family over the weekend?

I'm actually flying to Texas to spend What are you doing with the family over the weekend?

I'm actually flying to Texas to spend a couple weeks with family there,

so I'll be out of...

I won't be working next week, by the way.

I appreciate your heads up. But are you going to be you're

gonna be online a little bit during that period I assume that's the beauty of a

little bit but I'm not gonna do a whole lot., this is some time off every now and then.

We have contractors all over the world and that's one of the luxuries of being remote is you

can kind of be anywhere.

I'm going to be kind of taking advantage of that myself going home to New Jersey. You're going to celebrate the holidays with my mom there and then hang out with my dad in Delaware

for a little bit, do a little bit of work, so that should be nice.

Producer Austin Morgan, what's the plan for you over the Christmas? Well you kind of get like a whole break because we've pre-taped all of next week's episodes

Yeah, I will not be here next week. That'll be nice, but I will still be in this area

We usually do like breakfast and dinner at somebody's house, but this year we're

going to a bottomless mimosa brunch and then having a party. So that'll be fun I guess.

It sounds like there aren't any kids in the family.

Not anymore. My brother just turned 21 this year so it sounds like things are changing.
