TED TALKS: 12 year old App Developer...awesome!

The next generation is blowing my mind...literally.  I am continually impressed by the young adults I come into contact with, whether it is via school, family or friends.  Through their tenacity a level of innovation like no other has been born.  Take this fella for instance, he is a 12 year old app developer, not because he wants to make a fortune but for the simple pleasure of it. He enjoys programming, period.

He is quite a speaker and his message is simple.  How do you learn to program apps?  His solution is sound and his energy is contagious.  The fact that he gives credit to his mentor, his teachers and his school shows a level of respect that isn't always present in people of all generations.  Additionally, his future desire to continue sharing knowledge with other students in a collaborative environment gives him a leg up on the multitude of college age students I work with daily who have no clue how to work in a team-based environment.

Bravo, Thomas!
