The document discusses several topics related to technology trends on the edge including:
1. The decline in usage of Google Reader and the rise of Twitter.
2. The massive growth of data, with 2.5 exabytes of data created daily and 90% of data created in the last two years.

4. Changes in higher education around issues of cost, value of degrees, and potential new models of competency-based learning.

states that usage has
slowed.
Dear RSS: @Twitter won.
