You know but how you think about things to determine what you should know. She decided medicine wasnt for her. Specifically washer was in stamford she went on to get a graduate degree. She had a real report as a student teacher. Very good at this program in particular. She could have gone to be a professor. She had a lot of her advisers say what you look at economy called google. She went in and sort of was overwhelmed with how intelligent and bright the people were at google. She felt they were much smarter than her, which may or may not be true. This will be a real challenge. This will be a scary opportunity. From there she entered into google. Another lesson to learn from Marissa Mayer. Her first big project was going to be googles first ad delivery system. She was going to make the first one. Google went out and hired new talent and company. He is really known for being one of the best twitterverse on the pratt on the planet. It had been taking her months. To her credit she looks a
Oil, yawn, pummel market. China devalues its currency. The yuans value cut by 1. 1 . Ill show a tweet, mr. Trump and i dont agree on many issues but hes right, chinas currency manipulation hurts u. S. Jobs. It must stop. Here we go to lawrence in montgomery, alabama, on our republican line. Good morning. Caller good morning. Thanks so much for cspans continuing informative programs. I wanted to ask your guest about the socalled u. S. Pivot to asia, the broad policy stroke that the Obama Administration is heralding. Heres the question. How does air sea battle fit into that . And what is the actual capability change or projected capability changes within the u. S. Pivot to asia . Thank you so much. Thats a really great question. And there are some simple answers. As the u. S. Pivot to asia, Obama Administrations pivot to asia, Public Policy now is to increase trade, maritime trade with asia and to build our relationships our economic relationships with these countries. But to protect tha
Were speaking on the social media level about it, underlying all of that movement are the issues that you brought up that are important. Income inequality is a huge problem in this country. I dont think anyone in this room would argue with that. But the way this generation is choosing to move behind it is in a different vehicle than perhaps generations before us. Yeah, maybe in the front. [ inaudible ] im intrigued the facts you gave around the millenials core issues and for policy global warming, Climate Change and nationally around income inequality, and given that dem graphically, millenials will be the dominant generation over the next ten years, what are the panels views on the Political Landscape and the future Political Landscape of the u. S. And the impact on policy particularly related to those two issues . I think money and politics really shakes my view of the Political Landscape. The confluence and emergence of super pacs, it does affect whos running for office. Well see th
Had died. And i was curious, in these violent situations, what response, if any, does twitter have . And so im not familiar with this one.

So, i would say that in the context of violence or any kind of crisis kind of situation, part of we get this question a lot actually, because ill give you a slightly more tame example than violence in mexico. But still it relates. In the aftermath of hurricane sandy, there were accounts on twitter of flooding in this place, and people even had these falsified photos of certain places that were under water. And there, like in the case of mexico, you have these questions, like, hey, twitter and other social media seem to be giving rise to potential misinformation. As i was saying earlier, it is, i really do believe, one of the most extraordinary viral platforms tha
The things that the occupy movement brought up, whether it means the affordability of college, right . The 1 . Those things are still happening. I actually think the movement is still continuing. Maybe its just different. That is whats different about our generation. Were still the civil rights movement, unfortunately it still has to happen in our day and age. Im sure during lbj and Martin Luther king jr. s time, they would have never wanted us to continue to have to fight that. We see it today. Through the eric garner stuff. I want to ask. I get asked by friends all the time, who are overseas, living in arab countries, they cant understand after the arab spring why young people dont stand up more and protest, and arent out in the streets. If the situation is really that bad, why dont we speak up. Is there something to this point that young people just engage differently when they want to make their voices heard and not maybe in the 60s sensibility of what it meant to be an activist .
