Dear Reader,
In our new normal caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are interacting more and more with exciting new technologies every single day. As the new Executive Editor of the Technology Column, my hope is to curate a column covering the most relevant and pressing issues concerning the crossroad of economics and technology that will certainly have profound impacts on our everyday lives. Most importantly, the greatest aspiration of this semester’s Technology Column is to provide Wesleyan Students with a platform to publish their opinions on the dynamic world of Technology. After reading this semester’s third issue of WBR and the second edition of the Technology column, my hope is you will walk away not only well versed in the hype trains of Bitcoin and NFTs, but also conscientious of the global impacts of this crossroads from China’s regulation of FinTech to Intel’s possible demise. Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Kye Yu ‘24
WBR Executive Editor of the Technology Column
Issues I & II
Due to Issue I not having dedicated Columns, the Wesleyan Business Review has designated Issues I articles deemed as part of this column together with Issue II.
Dear Reader,
As the head of the Technology Column, I am fascinated by the evolution of the tech market sector and how it continues to grow, innovate, and transform. My goal for this column is to inform the Wesleyan community about the impact and prevalence technology market trends have on the global success of the economy. I really wanted to incorporate our writers’ interest regarding the latest tech headlines into a diverse array of articles that accurately portrayed the strength as well as versatility of the technology sector. Within the column, we cover everything from the financial impact COVID-19 had on investors reliance on the NASDAQ to how Zoom single handedly transformed working remotely. I hope you enjoy reading our take on how technology innovation continues to revolutionize consumers decisions, influence market swings, and spark ethical debates.
Sincerely,
Nick Wallick ‘22
