Professor Doyle's lessons from our last class helped me realize that all our zoom sessions have been a condensed, hour-long summary of the greatest insights that our speakers gained from the highs and lows of their lives. Puts perspective on how valuable each hour was! #BCSTT

Interesting how only 60% of their workforce will remain in their current locations. #BCSTT

Google is adopting a hybrid workweek, allowing 20% of employees to work remotely, according to a company email, with most employees spending three days in the office and two days working elsewhere https://t.co/cLRw98Getf

@Harrington__ Will the significance of these "tech & startup hotspots" change with remote working options? #BCSTT #G

[Stella Lee @leestella01]

@QuinnSheehan61 That's crazy.. I think this shows the importance of trends/marketing in driving revenue. #BCSTT

[Stella Lee @leestella01]

So cool how different industries are coming up with unique ways to fight environmental issues while increasing efficiency. #BCSTT

@MercedesHoyos7 @SimonBerg I love how Simon can turn other people's advice into introspective questions that can help him challenge his views and grow from different perspectives. This seems like a great way for diverse teams with varying opinions to come to an agreement! #BCSTT #G

@DraddySara It was so cool watching the final round of the venture competition last night! It's crazy how fellow students at BC are putting their talents into creating businesses (like MacDraddy!) that drive their passion. #BCSTT

My Uber driver mentioned seeing a big surge in cars out on the road with vaccination rates on the rise. What other things are you noticing that seem to signal that we are getting closer to the end of the pandemic? #BCSTT

[Stella Lee @leestella01]

Interesting to see how much more profitable the industry has become since the pandemic. Do you think the boom will die down after things go back to "normal", or like Zoom, is it here to stay to be one of the defining characteristics of a "post-pandemic" world? #BCSTT

Podcasts exploded in popularity during the lockdown and are on track to bring in more than $1 billion in U.S. ad revenue this year. The battle for podcast dominance is on. https://t.co/Yb8SXci8VT

@curtiswb2021 @evisort I loved that insight too! It reminded me of what John from Shea Ventures shared with us as well: ambition does not equal thoughtfulness. It's easy to get caught up on "climbing the ladder" to impress yourself and others, but that won't always be what you really want. #BCSTT

@reshamjariwala Repeated privacy issues such as this make me question if we're ready for the heavy developments happening in wearable technology. #BCSTT #G

[Stella Lee @leestella01]

What is your opinion on trying different jobs first before starting your own business vs. seizing the opportunity ASAP? #BCSTT

[Stella Lee @leestella01]

@dongyeonlee5 Glad to hear that he's addressing this issue since Amazon has often been criticized for how they treat their employees. The new algorithm-based staffing schedule sounds super interesting too. #BCSTT

[Stella Lee @leestella01]

With the extent to which technology has pervaded our lives and continuously seeks to do so, I don't think cases like this will ever be uncommon. #BCSTT

[Matthew Green @matthew_d_green]

Interesting story about what really happened with the Apple v. FBI case: Mark Dowd’s Azimuth was the one to get the San Bernardino iPhone unlocked. https://t.co/W6PWAOomRF

@Michaelricc1 I can see how this technology can eventually be helpful to those with some types of physical impairments, but this just seems like a backdrop for a dystopian movie. #BCSTT #G

[Stella Lee @leestella01]

"Tech companies see AR glasses as an opportunity to drive consumers to spend more time in their ecosystems, where they can show ads, sell products and pursue other moneymaking opportunities." Will these glasses bring more harm than good? #BCSTT

[WSJ Tech @WSJTech]

Tech companies are accelerating their development of computerized glasses that feature augmented reality, an effort proponents say will usher in a new way for consumers to use technology https://t.co/yAJdptbB8Z

@christydzn So scary how 500 million LinkedIn profiles have also been hacked "and is now for sale on a site used by hackers." Our world is becoming more and more centered around data and digital platforms, and we need a better way to protect personal information. #BCSTT #G

[Stella Lee @leestella01]

@HermOlivia Interesting to see that these phones aren't being released in Korea! People are saying this is a strategic move to increase market share in the U.S., especially since LG (#3 phone seller in the U.S.) has announced it will stop producing smartphones this year. #BCSTT

[Stella Lee @leestella01]

My favorite lesson from Pat Twomey from Klaviyo today is that you shouldn't be afraid of exploring different paths. Trying out different opportunities will help you find where your passion and talents align! #BCSTT

[Stella Lee @leestella01]

@helenofagan @bczenati @Casey_mcnamaraa I personally don't think its worth it, but it may be appealing to some users who are willing to pay the extra cost. These auxiliary features should be optional instead of being an excuse that manufacturers can use to add another 0 at the end of the price tag. #BCSTT #G

[Stella Lee @leestella01]

@helenofagan @bczenati @Casey_mcnamaraa I definitely agree with you guys that these features just drive the price and maintenance fees up, but I remember getting my first phone with voice command and thinking how unnecessary it was.. until I started using it everyday to ask for the weather while getting ready. #BCSTT
