Extra ordinary kid. Awesome development, Coding, Business & Presentation skills all together!
 
It's cool, but nothing special really. There's been crap loads of kids his age and younger that have programmed some cool things. The only difference now is the main stream people are encouraging it instead of putting it down and discouraging them.

This reminds of that little girl at defcon and her "hack" for cell phone games. Everyone went omg it's cool she figured that out! Hurr durr people have been resetting clocking to beat that kind of thing since at least the 80s.

I thought his public speaking and social ideas (app club) added to the impressiveness of the presentation. This kid isn't some ultra-nerd playing WoW, coding apps and yelling at his mom from his basement. He has a clear desire to move forward with those around him and he's handling it more professionally than most kids his age.

It's great that's is socially acceptable enough now he's able to do that. The kid is no doubt intelligent, but saying he's the next Steve Jobs is a stretch. Not every kid that is / was able to program is an "ultra-nerd" a lot were still sociable. If he were in the 80's or 90's he'd be laughed at by his peers like the rest of any computer club.

Don't know about well spoken, but when I was that age I was running a very large site which was getting 500,000 visits/day based on software I had written (which was subsequently featured in an AP article which got me on the front page of Yahoo, on CNN, etc.)

I wasn't giving presentations on TED, but that probably has more to do with the fact that my parents aren't well connected techies who live in LA, than what my actual accomplishments were.

So, BlokBlok asks if anybody that age is that well spoken, and you reply with "BRAGBRAGBRAGBRAGBRAG...but I didn't have the opportunity to be well spoken so I wasn't."

Is there any other purpose to your post aside from bragging? You quote BlokBlok as if you're responding to him, but your response has nothing to do with his question.
