@NateWare13 I think there is nothing wrong with the social media platform itself. The important things are who are using it and how people use it, otherwise any social media can be addictive and detrimental. #BCSTT

Three best pieces of advice I got from #BCSTT :
1. Get comfortable being uncomfortable
2. Your time is your most valuable asset
3. Things won't happen for you--be proactive and create your own luck!
I really can't believe our three-day trip ended so quickly. There was so much to learn from our experienced alumns and I saw more possibilities of my future development. Thanks to @profkane and @JereDoyle and everyone in the class! #BCSTT
@realTommyRonan It seems that Wework's everything is kind of messy right now. I think the primary objectives for the company are to realize profiting and establish a reliable brand value #BCSTT
@NateWare13 Interesting, there is an mobile payment app called "Alipay" in China, and it encourages users to walk instead of driving and using virtual tickets, to reduce carbon release and plant actual trees, which will be paid by Alibaba group. #BCSTT
@BarankoRyan We had an article about "Why tech companies are leaving Silicon Valley" for the Venture Capital section, and this video shows how sharp Bill Gates' vision was in the tech industry.#BCSTT
@NateWare13 I'd like to believe so. 3D printing has been applied to many industries such as consumer products, manufacturing and even aerospace. With high accuracy and efficiency, this technology is very likely to replace human employees.#BCSTT
@MattAltomareBC Interesting idea! I never think about the social effect of self-driving autos. In my opinion, these cars will provide convenience for poeple to walk out of their circles, but may not be a major impact to deal with loneliness. #BCSTT
As we have mentioned this topic in class and blogs, the use of facial recognion has been a peopel's concern of their privacy. This article talks about some method we may adopt against this technology. What do you think?#BCSTT#D
@georglliott @Airbnb This seems pretty interesting, and it looks like Airbnb is trying to creating new service to appeal to customers. I wonder if this will generate extra cost and how much interested will people be in this idea. #BCSTT
We've made shorting and lending digital assets much easier. Excited to expand our prime brokerage offering for cryptocurrencies:

@bentsai1217 It just reminds me what we have discussed last week. This is a definitely a threat to personal privacy and I don't think it would improve wrorking efficency in long run.#BCSTT
Amazing speed! The development of technology has even surpassed people's imaginations. However, we should notice if these advances could bring actual and practical benefits to human society.#BCSTT#D
Google's quantum computer solved a problem in 200 seconds that would take a normal supercomputer 10,000 years. Sounds like a big deal! But the details are a bit of a letdown. https://t.co/tUR9hskM7V
@NateWare13 I believe the implementation of AI technology could make this really happen. On the other hand, it would also require employees to understand more knowledge of AI. #BCSTT
Today's discussion was so inspiring. I often talked with people about AI, but have never seriously thought about how it would inlfuence my career. I also really like Prof. Kane's summary that we need to keep learning constantly, beacause the world is changing so fast. #BCSTT
