@JillSherwood6 summed up TechTrek perfectly in two statements. "This is what a college class is meant to be" & "Relax! It's Going to Be Okay!"
Thank you all for a great semester.

Didn't even think about how @beatsbydre would be affected with Airpods growing beyond the pods. Great point.

I wonder how much longer Beats will be around? #BCSTT https://t.co/oGN9yQIEsy

I don't know much about Aurora but if their founder is being called the "Henry Ford of autonomous vehicles" good things are in store. Experts are predicting more consolidation in the self-driving market.

A thread:

As we are approaching winter break, does anyone know of potential jobs/opportunities to make a quick ~$1K over break? Any comments are appreciated

@tor_newell It's absurd. Change has been occurring slowly but surely. Hopefully, this proposition will cause a larger snowball effect for the entire industry.

Nasdaq is looking to implement a board diversity rule for the 3K companies listed on its exchange. The proposal would require companies to have at least one woman on their boards and a director who is a racial minority or identifies as LGBTQ. Big change is in store.

Just read that Salesforce announced in an earnings call yesterday that it will buy Slack for $27.7 Billion in cash and stock. Glad to see it went through and Salesforce poses an even bigger threat to Microsoft.

Read that Salesforce may buy an expensive Slack and further its B2B strategy, making Salesforce a stronger competitor to Microsoft. Glad to see greater competition against industry giants.

@colinlee42 Couldn't agree more. Jordan has the pop and wow bc of his influence on the court. Don't get me wrong, Steph is the greatest shooter of all time but he's no LBJ or Kobe. Doesn't have the same wow factor as those big guys and with that, I believe the brand won't be as big.

Scott is the goat. Watched it a couple of years ago and killer advice for young adults. Thx for the share.

Not surprised that U.S. store visits fell 52% as shoppers flocked to websites. Interested to see the growth in Cyber Monday sales today and if Black Friday absorbed some of those.

@kelechieleje @katiektfox Catch me in Sydney next semester lol #BCSTT

@DavidHe0506 @MarissaSpletter Probably because their living situation is significantly worse than wealthier families. Not everyone has their own private room to study, parents to make sure they do work 24/7 or personal computer they can use to do classes. Beyond blessed to have all that I have.

@amazon said Tuesday customers can buy prescription medications through a new store on its platform. CVS, Walgreens, and GoodRx all fell due to the announcement. Queue the ominous music, Amazon continues to grow.

@TomCiatto @BcStt I couldn't agree more. I delete all social media except for Snapchat during the week, not only to avoid distractions but to separate myself from my phone. Definitely would recommend it to anyone.

@lilimfleming @ethanguell Lily, I couldn't agree more. The majority of information you learn in college you could do for free and in half the time. The experience, social aspect, and relationships are what make college special. Now is that worth $75k a year?
