Robert Scoble is calling the future of technology the Game of Games. What he describes though is more like a war, with two of the world's largest tech juggernauts -- Google and Facebook, competing for data and ultimate control of the information that makes up our online identity. He sees the next couple years as one in which these two companies use new tools such as social pluginand smart phones, in conjunction with old tools like search and email to understand not only who our friends are, but also the food we eat, music we listen to, politicians we vote for, and even the Gods we worship, and ultimately using this data to earn billions of dollars off the transactions we make online.
This conversation on the future of technology is a result of our mentorship lunch series, in which we flew winner Dimitry Lukashov from NYC to San Francisco after answering the question on Quora, what technology trends will most dramatically change the world in 2015.
“ You don’t take a photograph, you make it." - Ansel Adams
An exceptional photo not only captures great imagery, but tells a story that transcends the pixels on the screen. While we had tons of unbelievable photo contest entries, the two photos we selected as our grand and first prize winners, shared the story of how their internships were larger than life and directed their professional future.
Congratulations to our Grand Prize Winner, Kunal Ajmera! Read more to view Kunal's excpetional internship photo entry as well as runners up.
