Hi,
It seems my comment about those older than 24 to give up on making a mark in society, apart from political, touched a raw nerve.
Please do not
get disillusioned the following avenues still exist for you;
1. Become an angel investor to the under 24 year old's (Google received US $100,000/-, do the ROI)
2. Mentor and/or incubate the under 24 year old's (Sam please share)
3. Encourage and motivate your children, nephews and nieces who are under 16 years to take up development (Mark Zuckerberg was writing serious code he had taught himself when he was only 9 years old & turned down a job offers from AOL & Microsoft when he was in high school, - what is your 9 year old doing?)
Even as old as we are we still can be part of the next big non-political revolution so long as we accept the fact that we shall be ball "boys", coaches, managers, financiers and onlookers but not player on the pitch which
is why I continue to campaign for the post of Post Master General, king of snail mail.
FYI:
Mark Zuckerberg is another one in the long line including Bill Gates, Microsoft owner, and Steve Jobs, Apple CEO and largest shareholder of Disney. These guys keep reinforcing the myth that college graduates become employees in companies owned by college dropouts, who become billionaires.
Rather than becoming dependable citizens looking for jobs, people like Mark Zuckerberg believe in becoming
deviants, who go on to create jobs, and possess the cheek to do so without inheriting big bank accounts. One Mark Zuckerberg is sufficient to set millions of kids dreaming and doing awful damage to the tenets of civilized society, as we know it. Good boys should go through college, study as much as they can, and lose as much of their originality as they can, to become solid dependable workers for our industrial system. People like Mark Zuckerberg , just by their existence, incite others to think, something that has always been disapproved by good society, starting with the burning of Copernicus.
Regards
PS. Do despair, in so long as developing that killer up is concerned but be re-energised by the other prevailing opportunities.

Re radical ideas and kids.
Mzalendo grew and went live when I was pregnant with my first child, Ushahidi was born when I had a 10 month old and I quit my job to build the organization behind it when I had another on the way, expecting number 3 after recently joining Google and I'm sure I will continue to have new ideas there :-)

I must challenge you there Robert. What do rent and kids have to do with
creativity, drive and passion? Jonathan Ive, the principal designer of the
iMac, titanium and aluminum PowerBook G4, MacBook, unibody MacBook
Pro, iPod, iPhone, and iPad has a wife and two kids. Twins. Doesn't seem to
have slowed him down any.
