Young Entrepreneurs Thrive in IT Industry

The IT industry has always been a breeding ground for innovation. Old technologies are reinvented and new ones are regularly released, making IT more valuable to more people. The tech biz has limitless potential when it comes to innovation, and that’s why it attracts young people. From the 1970s when a student founded Microsoft up until today, there’s always been room for the innovation of the student entrepreneur.

Fast Company recently profiled young brothers Jimmy, Luke, and Mark Dickinson, for instance. Together, the Dickinsons developed a web-based education application that allows multiple students to learn using a single computer. And there are also the students of the B.V. Bhoomaraddi College of Engineering & Technology in Hubli, Karnataka, India. They worked with the USHAS Center for Exceptional Children to develop activities for handicapped kids, reports IEEE. The Walking Tutor and Chitra Vallari are modules that help children get physical and cognitive exercise.

In any business and in any country, students are in the forefront of today's innovators – technology and otherwise.
