@LudwigAhgren streaming exclusively on their platform. This combined with a variety of other creator signings, as well as a continued promise to improve the platform leads me to believe that YouTube has a strong chance to compete with Twitch in the livestreaming space in the near future.

@ITILeifer what's your twitch man, we should definitely hang out and check out each other's streams and play some games

[Cameron Leifer ITI @ITILeifer]

#DigiTechF21A While I just wrote my EDTP on Twitch streaming, I believe that YouTube is emerging as a strong competitor with their recent moves in acquiring livestreaming talent. Just yesterday, YouTube announced that one of Twitch's biggest superstars, @LudwigAhgren would be (1)

#DigiTech21FA This semester taught me a lot about the importance of the balance between technology and disruption that I hadn't considered before. I really did learn a great deal and had a lot of fun researching topics I am passionate about. Thank you for a great semester!

#DigiTechF21A
I really enjoyed learning and seeing all the different types of products and technology and it's crazy to see how different the world has become and how certain things have become the norm I really enjoyed talking with others on twitch, gaming, and innovative tech

[Derek Dipierro @DerekDipierro]

One of the takeaways I got from the course was that how great technology can be for providing a socialization aspect and having a good sense of community and friendships #DigiTechF21A

The mental fortitude of a Professional NA player in Apex is laughable 😂😂 i'll pray for you guys to get somewhere in life being like that

@Meghna_Mehta02 Streaming services are great, but it doesn't provide the same experience as going to a theater unfortunately

@XINYIQI7 oculus is a great vr and watching things through vr is very cool

@AAelsais It will be hard to get people such as our generation to convert to self driving cars because people who grew up loving to drive will continue to want to drive

[Derek Dipierro @DerekDipierro]

The future of gaming will be digital, there are now consoles that are just digital so you can only download games. Gamestops' business model is outdated and it is a lot more convenient to get games online. #DigiTechF21A

The prowlers really have better movement than all controller players 😂😂 tragic

#DigiTechF21A #TXC21 One piece of advice I give for people communicating effectively and professionally is to just be true to yourself and be who you are. Don't try to impress others and don't be afraid to approach anyone if you have a thought.

[Derek Dipierro @DerekDipierro]

#DigiTechF21A #TXC21 The main thing I took away from the activity is that Twitter is a good resource to hear something that you never knew about Rutgers and hearing others' thoughts is very healthy and to be open minded.

[Derek Dipierro @DerekDipierro]

@ITILeifer I've been in Alexander Library and it is massive, I love how many different floors there are and there's space for everyone

[Derek Dipierro @DerekDipierro]

@ashley_hubscher Having a good environment helps!

[Derek Dipierro @DerekDipierro]

@amanda_stellwag Even having a tablet like a surface or iPad can be very useful too

[Derek Dipierro @DerekDipierro]

A way to thrive and succeed at Rutgers is to definitely be consistent and keep up with your work it's not necessarily about working harder or being smarter it's about working smarter and being punctual also building connections can help you in the long term #DigiTechF21A #TXC21

@georgekcp97 Community is important because in a big school like Rutgers you can easily feel lost and alone if you don't have the right people around you
