The entire Theranos situation is a true testament to the value of diligently researching a company. It’s unbelievable how many smart people were duped by Holmes. If only #BCSTT students visited Theranos , maybe they would have been able to grill the founder
For all #BSCTT students, I highly recommend this book by @JohnCarreyrou. Made me realize that Elizabeth Holmes is absolutely nuts! The Theranos scandal demonstrates the importance of speaking up when something isn’t right
This quantum computer has the potential to accomplish so much in such a short time period. I’m excited to see how this high-speed technology will play out in other field #BCSTT
Google claims it has designed a machine that needs only 200 seconds to solve a problem that would take the world's fastest supercomputer 10,000 years to figure out. https://t.co/ft9hlkeoR3
Great comparison of Pandora and Wework! For both companies, their downfall happened occurred when investors overlooked the internal flaws. Investors were so focused on gaining the market advantage that they quickly invested and developed tunnel vision #BCSTT
Pandora needed a buyer to turn it into a viable business. @conorsen says that WeWork and other overhyped startups should take note https://t.co/m72kDCcrgx via @bopinion
I can’t believe #BCSTT is finally over! Thank you everyone for a great semester. I learned so much hearing everyone share their insights and advice in NY. I am incredibly grateful to my professors for all the time and effort you put into tech trek.
Thank you @ColinCrowell for stopping by for #BCSTT day 3! What a powerful conversation at @Twitter this afternoon about Twitter and how it has chosen to navigate public policy. Looking forward to finish day 3 strong!
@dens@Foursquare@JeffGlueck#BCSTT went 2 twitter today & they pushed for more regulation around locations services as well. They spoke about the ethical dilemmas that come with countries that want to ban twitter & users having the ability to change their individual locations on the app
Thank you @dens for sharing your experience with #BCSTT today! I have a follow up question—Even though @Foursquare employees have a “do no evil” policy, how do you ensure other companies, such as twitter and Uber, use your data and technology for good?
Thank you @PublicHello, @MoneyLion, and @socureme for hosting #BCSTT for a panel on fintech this morning! We appreciate all the advice and words of wisdom!
After hearing a panel by @WeWork,@business, @nielsen on the importance of sustainability, I’m inspired to learn more about different sectors’ initiatives. Crazy to see how much waste is in the wedding industry and how garbage goddess is transforming it #BCSST
What a great visit today at the office of @harrys. Thank you for welcoming us into your office and giving us time to ask you about your business! #BCSTT
Also, at @Dens, my professors said if you use a #BCSTT (Boston College Shea Tech Trek) in one of your tweets, I will receive an automatic A in the course 🙏🏼
I’m looking forward to discussing the launch of the new @Google phone tomororw at the NY headquarters! Should be an interesting conversation —hopefully, the hosts will touch on their experience of releasing a product in a market dominated by Apple #BCSTT
Chipotle is taking initiative to invest in the future of their employees. I’m curious to see whether Chipotle will eventually vouch to pay for other degrees outside of business and tech #BCSTT
Chipotle will pay for its employees to get business or technology degrees at certain colleges, the company says. The new program is the restaurant chain's latest effort to attract and retain talent in a highly competitive labor market. https://t.co/jRvlsSY0sX
Facebook, Youtube, & Twitter are facing concerns over whether this video of Trump crosses the line. On the one hand, these companies need to be wary of censorship & free speech, but also need to be aware of the risk violent content can have #BCSTT
