Reading this article, i feel that this article was written to raise awareness of the recent bloom in teenager's pursuing entrepreneurship by enabling the use of technology. The example noted of which in this article is a 13 year old teen, Cyrus Pishevar, who though at such a young age, through pure creativity and basically observing that tagging photos was such a popular social past time on facebook, founded an application called High School Memories, which allowed users of Facebook to share and reminice with others, their own personal high school experience. This is an amazing feat, especially for someone as young as 13 to have managed, Showing that despite being of such a young age, almost anyone can use technology to begin their own pursuit in entrepreneuship.This is however, also due to how advanced technology nowadays has come, that writing software has become that much simpler and easier to use, making it obvious that less skills are currently required to build programs.
 However the bloom in interweb entrepreneurship has both it's pros and cons, as the issue of which the article has discussed, that an increasing amount of students are dropping out of school to chase their dream of entrepreneuship. This is definitely an worrying issue, as education is an important point in every aspect of a person's life, without education, the teens who dropped out of school and fail to attain success in their jobs will be left with nothing, noting that unless "by any chance you happen to achieve the success that Zuckerberg did, then drop out of school," Vivek Wadhwa said. "But don't screw up your education until you've done that."
