Disruptive innovation, the key to success. @sixwordstories #dcim353a

[Simratvir Singh @Simratvir_RU]

My personal takeaway from this course is realizing how disruptive technologies can affect the market and consumers. I never thought of it in that sense before. #dcim353a

Tesla has gathered over 800 million miles of data from their cars on the road. This is a big step to get self-driving cars on the road and prevent future accidents like what happened with Uber. #dcim353a #dtdcweek15 https://t.co/sVWj4D7aFC

@ms26255 Even though this is no doubt the future, will cars that need to be driven be completely off the roads? What about the people that like driving sports cars around the track or canyon type roads? #dcim353a

@nikki_cavallo I think part of this is due to things like animoji. I think in a way it does qualify for being augmented reality because it copies everything a person does into an emoji type cartoon character. #dcim353a

[Simratvir Singh @Simratvir_RU]

@ellerbejordan This is definitely true. My uncle works in software development and he told me Artificial Intelligence is one of the biggest things right now along with big data predictions. #dcim353a

Blockchain technology, which all the cryptocurrency is based off, is vital to the future of business because for one it offers transparency and decentralization, but also provides reduced transaction times and costs. #dcim353a

A piece of advice I would give to anyone looking to communicate effectively via hashtag is to just interact as much as you can. Express your opinions on the topics you like and don’t hold back, being online rather than face-to-face makes it a bit easier for many. #txc18 #dcim353a

[Simratvir Singh @Simratvir_RU]

My key takeaway from this activity would be to see how useful twitter is when used in an educational context. The cross-course like activities allow us to communicate and interact with people we don’t know and can even lead to building professional relationships. #txc18 #dcim353a

When a company gets as big as Facebook with millions of daily users, what's there to stop them from selling our information or using it for their own purposes? If not for leaks like the Cambridge Analytica we'd never know what goes on.#dcim353a #dtdcweek12

@JoshHM19 That's interesting I always considered UX and UI to essentially be the same thing but now I know the difference. Both of these play a big role in determining whether a new product/software succeeds or just causes frustrations to the customer. #dcim353a #txc18

[Simratvir Singh @Simratvir_RU]

@acastelli819 Wow you have a lot on your plate. Over here I was thinking I have no time because of school and working on the weekends but really I just can't manage time properly. I procrastinate a lot and time management is definitely a key to success at Rutgers. #dcim353a #txc18

[Simratvir Singh @Simratvir_RU]

@alisonnmelendez I'm hoping to become a web developer as well! I might go into the cyber security field but currently trying to learn coding on the side for languages like java and python. I feel like the ITI major here is not that coding intensive and we have to learn ourselves. #dcim353a #txc18

[Simratvir Singh @Simratvir_RU]

My professional identity consists of working toward my degree in ITI. I try to learn some coding on the side and pursue projects that may help someone in the future. I'm also a part of RU Sikh where we help spread information about the Sikh religion and culture.

My personal identity involves going around trying new things such as foods from different cultures. Being a vegetarian it is an interesting experience. For the times I'm free at home I'll usually play video games. #dcim353a #txc18

[Simratvir Singh @Simratvir_RU]

@alex456384 I agree! Planning ahead keeps you on track and prevents last minute decisions to add courses that may not fit your schedule. It's also important to apply to FAFSA on time so the aid can be applied to students's accounts. #dcim353a #txc18

[Simratvir Singh @Simratvir_RU]

@ConnorWarakoms1 This is definitely one of the most important aspects for succeeding at Rutgers. My first year here my time management was all over the place and would do assignments last second and it ended with me getting lower grades than I should have.

[Simratvir Singh @Simratvir_RU]

@Twong2277 My first year at Rutgers I never went to any academic adviser thinking what more they can tell me but it really does help. They can guide people on what classes to take and when to take them and even tell you of easier electives they know of.

Uber is launching a new service called Uber Health. It offers healthcare providers a way to order rides for their patients to make it to appointments, especially for older people with transportation issues.

For me the best way to thrive at Rutgers is to balance school and other activities. I think it's important to find time to have fun here and there as focusing on school 24/7 can get depressing for some. Below is a calendar of events at RU.
