Reason.tv: Young World Revolution! - Youth, Technology and Business with Rob Salkowitz

What can global business leaders learn from a 14-year-old kid in a cyber cafe in Bangalore, India?

Just about everything, says Rob Salkowitz, author of Young World Rising: How Youth, Technology and Entrepreneurship are Changing the World from the Bottom Up. 

Reason.tv's Dan Hayes sat down to talk with Salkowitz about Suhas Gopinath, an entrepreneur who started a multimillion dollar business out of a cyber cafe in India at age 14.  Salkowitz says young, tech-savvy entreprenuers like Gopinath represent a changing dynamic that global business leaders ignore at their own peril. Understanding this "young world" is critical for making money, developing new business models and combating social problems.  

Salkowitz says that the lower cost of entry in the tech world provides unprecendented opportunity to young people in emerging markets. "You don't have to work in the t-shirt factory, you don't need to work in the mine. If you can figure this out you can earn a decent living for yourself in diginified working conditions, give employment to other people, and move society forward in better and different ways."

The government will be there to put a stop to these pretentious upstarts, protecting our precious and few Big Capital cronies who deserve better.

With a spoonfull of sugar the regulations will go down, the regulations will go down, the regulations will go down!

A 14 year old in India is rich and I'm still working in this crappy place?
If there's ONE thing I expect Gubmint to do, it's to squash enthusiasm and innovation by young people.

RELASE THE HOUNDS!

I meant to say:

INVEST IN OUR SCHOOLS!

Only a public education can keep the little bastards down.

It's good that he's over there and not over here, otherwise he would be the target of a spurious federal investigation [are there any other kind????]

He would have been arrested for fraud if he had been in the states.

But he should have to share his money with ME. I'm sure somehow I'm owed.
