Much love to you sir!
I was listening to one of his talks at Stanford and he was one of the first people who acknowledged that young people are disadvantaged today as were women in the last century. Most organs of government or commerce, according to him, represent the old guard and antiquated thinking that wont embrace a huge pool of talent and ideas that young people represent.
In this world where the rate of change is constantly escalating, young people have tremendous potential to be change agents and help companies and governments make the right choices for a generation that demands products and policies which represent its priorities. Without them, governments and companies risk falling behind. Sound familiar?
So next time you see an iphone totting, converse wearing, skate boarding youngin and think to yourself - "Kids, these days," know that in a couple of years these kids will be a part of the workforce, making purchasing decisions worth millions of dollars. And if they're loyal to your competitor - ROI, TCO, and all the cutesy TLAs pretty much go straight out the window. Someone else walks away with your lunch.
On an unrelated note, please, if you're thinking about who to vote for - vote Obama. Worried about experience? Just look at how the last 8 years turned out at the hands of an experienced leader. Time to give youth and optimism a chance.
