Last Friday we were fortunate to have Reporter Paul Boutin join us at the BOCA office. Thank you Paul!!!
Many people know Paul in the tech sector because he is an esteemed reporter with VentureBeat and the NYT. He also has written for Wired, the Wall Street Journal and Valleywag. Additionally, after studying at MIT, he worked there for several years on Project Athena.
What we learned about what Paul is up to these days...
Paul writes at least once a month for the New York Times, and his ultimate goal is to “give the reader what they want” while answering some of the most important technological questions, such as, how does one deal with technology in their own personal lives?
We spoke about the power of Twitter, and how it connects celebrities with their fans, but most importantly, how content on the internet is invaluable, and “the power of the click” is not only dominated by the number of clicks, but the time any person spends looking on a page, and the content that is presented. Lesson we continue to learn - content is King!
As technology continues to progress, we can only hope to see some amazing things on the horizon, and we thank Paul Boutin for taking the time to come out and chat with us!

how does one deal with technology in their own personal lives? It's amazing how technology can be a real weapon in the hands of those who want to adapt reality to their own will. Have you ever recorded a conversation to avoid having to challenge other people's truths later but then you find out that that conversation has been rebuilt using words and sounds of your voice taken out of another context? And it's so fluid to really sound believable (there are only slight lapses of time between each beat). Anyway to make it not editable? sort of PDF for sound... Thank you
