It's Never Too Early to ...

Start Blogging!

In a recent Scoble post, he mentions Yuvi, a 15-year-old "Geek wannabe" from India who analyzes Scoble's own blog (see here and here).

Hear Christian Long's gut instinct:

"Yuvi continues to prove his instincts, hones his craft, blends tech-talk with savvy analysis. Yuvi continues to develop into a fledgling reporter for school paper. Yuvi gets a rapidly increased readership. Yuvi eventually has the option of being successful in India or going to Silicon Valley or wherever he wants, when he's old enough to establish that side of his life. Yuvi becomes a metaphor. Yuvi gets Scobleized at least one more time. Yuvi gets a job. Or the ability to turn a few job offers down."

Time to "Get Yuvified" as Long called it.

This just reminds me of how tech-savvy each generation is quickly becoming. I remember I didn't know what the Internet was during middle school. In fact, I didn't start using instant messaging until ninth grade of high school. I'm reminded of how "old" I am each day just thinking about my youngest brother, Louie. He's nine-years-old but easily plays computer video games, checks his Outlook email, and sends instant messages as part of his normal daily activities. And I thought my battery-powered Lego train set was cool back in the day.

What's next? Five-year-olds writing programs? ;p

PS: I love this post by Seth Godin on "when to start."

Thank You! I'm honored:)

Love that you took the time to share Yuvi's unfolding story!

And great addition with the Seth Godin piece as well.

Cheers,
Christian
