A year or two ago I saw a bit of a kids show – Sesame Street, I think it was. The segment I saw, left me amazed – the animated segment had someone telling kids what email was, and how to send it. At that point, I realised two things: a) technology (and the internet specificly) really is everywhere, and b) kids are getting a heck of a start to this stuff.
Today I read on Slashdot, that a 13-year old CEO Anshul Samar ’stole the show’ at TiECON 2007, a “big technology conference in Santa Clara, California”. The article on VentureBeat is quite informative, and worth reading. I do have to wonder if his inclusion of his 11-year-old sister as VP of Sales was his decison, or something to do with the parents insisting he share.
Check out the game/company the they’re asking for USD$100k (!!) investment for – Elementeo. It appears to be a very well thought out card game, using various chemical elements and compounds for the play.
Good luck to them, I say – I’m just hoping they don’t decide to do away with anyone over 25 after they take over the world.
(For some reason, I’m reminded of the TISM Song – If You’re Not Famous At Fourteen, You’re Finished)
