I consider myself a scientist. I like to observe, take things apart, and figure out how they work.

What an awesome find from a Topps Stranger Things box at PB&J cards! This guy has been in so many of my favorite movies and shows. I'm framing this homie! @SeanAstin #StrangerThings #BobNewby #Topps

@hbk983 I'm a huge fan of OSS. The only thing I can add in is about the user friendliness of a lot of the programs I've used. It never seems quite as intuitive as paid software but once you've put in the time to learn it, you're good to go! #PMBA5810

Developing apps on multiple platforms is getting easier in 2019. On both sides of the Apple/Android coin software programs are making it simpler than ever to bridge the gap, saving developers enormous amounts of time! #PMBA5810

@JPattersonUTC This makes sense. While Facebook is the standard that other social media sites are benchmarked against, Youtube appeals to a wider variety of users; esp DIYers. Whenever I need to learn how to do something fast, YouTube is my go-to. There's an expert for everything. #PMBA5810

@Platt_UTC In a competitive free market the consumers choose the provider. Even if Facebook gives entertainment services at little or no percieved costs, consumers have the choice to go to another social media outlet. I am excited to see the creativeness of startup competitors! #PMBA5810

@bann_jo @Airbnb While it seems there are some economic and social disturbances associated with @Airbnb, I believe it's the free market in action. Localities will adjust accordingly and the market will balance itself with no government interference. Or does the bad outweigh the benefit? #PMBA5810

[Jacob Wilkins @CosmicWilkins]

@bsc481 4 previously profitable firms merging to compete with AirBnb could lead to some interesting shifts benefitting the consumer! AirBnb has first-mover and brand advantage, but we'll see what happens. #PMBA5810

@bann_jo @leftoverswap Oh my goodness. I had to look up @leftoverswap. This is extreme sharing economy.

[Jacob Wilkins @CosmicWilkins]

Facebook had no first-mover advantage. A host of social networking sites preceded Facebook. This article does a good job of explaining why the timing of Facebook was perfect. #PMBA5810

Can businesses last in a sharing economy? When the government and insurance companies catch up, will providers be able to maintain profit margins? #PMBA5810 Legal Issues to Consider in the Sharing Economy https://t.co/WvzG2naszc

@bann_jo I think network effects are going to continue to grow. Elon Musk's Neuralink is working on brain-computer interfaces. Very Matrix-y! Mayhaps Web 2.1? #PMBA5810 #Neuralink

@LukeSco23510841 @facebook This a a fairly large hit for Silicon Valley. I wonder what the DOJ found and why they're targeting numerous corporate giants all at once? I remember the Zuckerberg Senate hearing last year. One would think Facebook was being extra data cautious right now. #PMBA5810

[Jacob Wilkins @CosmicWilkins]

When I'm fidgeting with my phone, I used to surf Facebook, but now I hop onto SoloLearn, which has a diverse collection of coding tutorials. SoloLearn benefits from Network Effects. More users equal better lessons & a more engaged comments section. #PMBA5810 #SoloLearn

I don't think the average American follows the Cannes Film Festival but Netflix is investing in its content. Is this a move prompted by Netflix data analysis? #PMBA5810 https://t.co/CPQgf8QPe1

@JoshCoo99189297 I've been seeing more rideshare programs pop-up. In metropolitan areas this could really take hold if the convenience and affordability factors can be amplified. It may even open up a new type of car market. #pmba5810

@Bhargav32394511 Amazon customer service and attention to human tendency is top notch. I buy very little in brick-and-mortar stores because customer reviews pay such a large part of my purchasing decisions. I would be very interested to see what Amazon can do for the healthcare field. #PMBA5810
