Happy Friday! This week's tech article features G.M. and its expansion of self driving car operations in Silicon Valley. Other companies are also taking steps to invest in talent and development centers to get self driving cars on the road. We may be "driving" one of these cars by 2021! What other technologies are you excited about in the future? Please comment below - we would love to hear your thoughts! Check out the article below!

Happy Wednesday! This week’s tech article is focused on Facebook’s recent addition of "Facebook Stories" onto the Facebook mobile app. "Facebook Stories" enables users to post videos and photos that will be shown to their friends for twenty-four hours and then expire. Recently, Facebook also created similar user experiences on its other acquisitions, WhatsApp and Instagram. However, Facebook has received a lot of criticism for copying Snapchat’s idea, since Snapchat has been... doing the same thing for years now. According to the article, nearly 70% of all 18-24 year olds in the United States use Snapchat. Do you think Facebook can win Snapchat’s large audience, or do you think users will just stick to Snapchat?

Happy International Women's Day! We're excited to partner with EY today for our EY Women in Tech Consulting Info Session. This week's tech news article features EY's recent announcement of its new initiatives with Microsoft: http://www.ey.com//news-ey-announces-new-joint-offerings-w David Garry, one of our members shared his perspective on the article: "Just as a tech companies outsource their books to an accounting company, a company like EY benefits greatly from outsour...cing some of its tech security to an industry leader like Microsoft. Not only does it help to deliver a better end product, but it also helps deliver more credibility to their service, giving their customers the assurance that the best minds in the industry architected their cyber security defenses." Hope to see you at our event tonight!
