Mandatory for a last blog experience! Definitely worth the time even if you’ve already hit your 5 posts required! #IS6621 https://t.co/JFJ6p1RKdM

Class Reflection - final Blog Post https://t.co/4KjzJeMQrN

I’ll be posting the script as my final blog. Thanks for the great semester, y’all!

Let’s see what taking a page from from Reddit’s book gets the social network. Do you all think this is a good idea? #IS6621 #D https://t.co/cTGrq5SINg

[CNET @CNET]

Facebook confirms it’s rolling out upvoting, downvoting on posts. #f82018

@kennedy__bc Fewer choices in an already small market, yeah I’m against it. But what worries me is the propensity for practices to become more homogenous as companies merge further eliminating any illusion of choice #IS6621

[Roark Word @roark_word]

@DanMiller315 A great read, especially for basketball fans. Can’t get enough of those analogies #IS6621

[Roark Word @roark_word]

The first of many uses for blockchain, hopefully this can help ensure ethical mining practices #IS6621 https://t.co/SPCpplqfgr

A blockchain that traces jewelry from mine to store https://t.co/lddk65fHig

@nescrivag @TechCrunch Not while I'm still getting it and Hulu with my student discount...I'm using that .edu address for all its worth! #IS6621

This article finds that Boston is "one of the least susceptible cities to be changed by automation" which is due to the high level of knowledge professions in law, medicine and at research universities. Check out the tool used to see how susceptible professions are #IS6621 https://t.co/HqtuqeZejE

[Kellogg School @KelloggSchool]

Which jobs and cities will be most transformed by automation and #AI? New research from Prof. @hyejin_young includes a handy tool to help people see how their profession and city will be affected. https://t.co/f8igGsMgZe

Does negative PR play the main role in the fury that social media stirs up about data privacy or is it the nature of Facebook's positioning as a social media company which gets people worked up so much? And should we expect to hear the same pushback about Google? #IS6621 #D https://t.co/Pe20vCV4ph

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Google gathers more personal data than Facebook does, by almost every measure—so why aren’t we talking about it? https://t.co/xfloOyr5ru

[Roark Word @roark_word]

I think that this could definitely happen. Microsoft's Surface Pro has been a major success in combining aspects of a tablet and a laptop, but it will be interesting to see how Apple tweaks their IOS to make it happen. #IS6621 https://t.co/61D1knZldo

[Katie Tisinger @katietisinger]

Read an article this week that Apple wants us to replace our computers with iPads. Do we think this would ever happen or that this new iPad will have success? #IS6621 #D https://t.co/AWKdsOVGBU

[Roark Word @roark_word]

@tucker_charette looks like IKEA wants to take on Wayfair #IS6621 https://t.co/ijpWC0Y2w6

[Roark Word @roark_word]

Check out my blog on Magic Leap's "mixed reality" and the implications that AR & VR will have on our online privacy in the future #IS6621

@oliverhowe14 I agree with @KatherineKorol there definitely is a market for the tech, but there is also a history of hospitalizations due to both over hydration and dehydration with the Boston Marathon. Useful and possibly lifesaving #IS6621

[Roark Word @roark_word]

@kennedy__bc I can understand why some poeple are moving toward this but no thank you. I don’t need ANOTHER account to keep track of; Linkedin will remain my business app #IS6621

[Roark Word @roark_word]

VCs have a robust connection with the digital business sphere and it turns out anyone can enter venture capital with the right niche expertise #IS6621 https://t.co/Gz85MzMErl

[TechCrunch @TechCrunch]

What did VCs study in college? https://t.co/TC0YDa22if by @jason_rowley

[Roark Word @roark_word]

It will be interesting to see if younger and even older voters see their elected representatives differently given the ineptitude that they exhibited toward such rudimentary technologies, lets see some basic tech literacy! #IS6621 #D https://t.co/MkigleGreD

[CNET @CNET]

Some Senators don't understand the Internet or Facebook, so naturally, Zuckerberg came to the rescue!

[Roark Word @roark_word]

@nescrivag I believe that unless a substantial part of the business mode changes, theaters will continue to be shuttered. Amenities are one of the changeable parts of theater dynamics but it will take more than that to change the established dynamics of movie consumer behavior #IS6621

[Roark Word @roark_word]

Not just for students now, the bundling option will definitely make for a spike in prescriptions. But do you think the expiration date will spur on the fence buyers? #IS6621 https://t.co/zTQfcihEsh

[CNET @CNET]

$12.99 for Hulu AND Spotify means we'll never get any work done again.

@tucker_charette This is an interesting strategy to combat the threat of other direct competitors like Lyft and Fasten. I wonder how they foresee the impact of driverless cars across their whole industry 🤔 #IS6621

[Roark Word @roark_word]

@KseniaPekhtere1 Its going to be interesting to see how much of a legitimate threat that Wal-Mart can pose as it acquires more and more companies and leverages partnerships to match Amazon. But I wonder if this Postmates deal is more of a bandaid than an actual solution #IS6621
