Under 30 and On The Cutting Edge

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tales-from-the-front dept.

conq writes "BusinessWeek has an interesting piece on cutting edge technology entrepreneurs under 30. From the article: 'Don't look at what the industry is doing,' Erchak says. 'Look at what they're not doing and focus on that. That's where the real disruptive technology comes from.'"

    I'm surprised we made it to 2006 without thinking of this.

    This all makes sense because by age 30, most of us nerds are broken shells of mangled human flesh: Thick glasses, crooked spines, carpal tunnel syndrome, high blood pressure... long term effects of working in the high speed world of information technology.

    And lets not forget about the stress-related impotence! How do you expect anyone to be innovative when they're out of libidious mojo?

    We hit our mid-life crisis at age-15 when we spend all our allowance on the newest AMD chips, graphics cards, and video games.

    I'm half way through my 20s and I'm not looking forward to being a grizzled and worthless dinosaur in the next 5 years... but such is the price we pay.

    =P
    (sorry to anyone over 30)

    The toilet.

    Does the toilet have an open port? I'll just try to log on remotely and dump a file.

    Saves time. This is a paperless transaction.
