RECENT TECHNOLOGY QUOTE:

Paul Rubell recently stated, “Facebook’s IPO filing highlights the resurgence in technology’s profound effect upon social change and human ingenuity. The investing community has once again jumped on the bandwagon of technology companies as a way to reap financial rewards. This is not, however, a return to the hey-day of the dotcom era of the 1990s.

“Digital media and technology companies of the 2010’s generally have a firmer basis in real products, bon-a-fide services and sound ways to earn revenue. Facebook, for instance, grossed $2 billion in revenues during 2011. Although, its valuation of $100 billion is fantastically high, the amount bears a direct correlation to the way Wall Street and Facebook’s user community hold this company, and the entire concept of digital communications, in high regard,” said Rubell.

“Entire waves of political change, such as Occupy Wall Street and the “Arab Spring” revolts have shown how one person, acting alone can effect broad political economic and other changes. Prior to the world-wide web in the 1990’s, it was nearly impossible for anyone to be heard instantly round the world, but today Facebook, and companies like it, are able to facilitate the immediacy of personal interaction. Thus the filing of Facebook’s IPO is an arbiter of the world we live in and a harbinger of great advances in technology yet to come.”
