Serina How, 112088W

This article is about a young web innovator- Cyrus Pishevar, who is being able to create a very successful application for Facebook (after he saw how popular it was for his friends to "tag" photos of one another on the social network. ) at the age of 13.  This shows that many younger ones are actually getting more involved in technology and it some sort prove that there is no age limit for creativity and excelling in becoming a web entrepreneur.

It is good for teenagers to start venturing and experimenting with different hands-on of different aspects, one which may include dealing with the web and IT stuff. Peter Thiel ( Investor of Facebook, and also co-founder of Paypal), encourages teens to pursue their dreams, rather than college, because traditional education steers them away from entrepreneurship and into steady jobs.
However, having a skill on IT should not actually serve as a form of encouragement for students to drop out of school and pursue their dreams, as I feel that having an education helps to assure and secure your future. As we are young, there will be plenty of time to pursue our dream once we completed our education. Also, it gives us time to think twice whether we really have the ablility to take such risks and endure setbacks. But also, not forgetting to spend their childhood happily, like a normal teenager.

Personally I feel to being able to be successful, one must be able to withstand and be prepared to face all the obstacles and risks coming up.

-Serina.
