+Bobby Wu technically, thy're not billionaires yet, and the only reason why child entrepreneurs have become a thing is because internet access has become affordable to even working class families in developed countries.

It's not because you talk like an entrepreneur, that you are one. These kids just hear there (ambitious) parents and teachers talking, and just copy them. So then a seven year old goes like "I wanna be my own boss, be independent in life". It's just phrases they picked up, they don't know what they mean.
This is true. While many of them may get bored with business or not have the stomache/ambition for it as they grow older, I do hope many of them stick with it. As an entrepreneur myself I try to talk to kids and show them theres more to life than a 9-5, but kids these days are so lazy... We need a generation to lead once we're gone, and im happy to see this.
+TavernSenses but it is true though that kids do have the most original ideas and thoughts as long as theyre not ADD and can focus they have the idea that shit is easy to do and theres no limits. that mindset gets ppl farther in life than anything. "think like a child, act like a man" - Me
Tavian Ward Not making excuses just making fun of the video. Also, without their parents, none of these kids would where they are in the video. They needed their money to do half of this stuff, otherwise, they'd be like any other kid that can only imagine what they'd create because they don't have the allowance to actually make it.
how cute, he tried to act like he was doing a lot of work on his computer by merely putting up an IDE, changing his terminal colours to green on black and typing in help in that shell to give the false illusion that he was doing work
They probably asked him to "pull up some cool looking stuff on that computer over there" so as to look as legit as possible to the viewers. Besides, for one green and black is the one true terminal schema, and for another he's just a little kiddle. Leave him alone you big meanie >.>
Any kids watching this, remember: these guys started rich, they had parents that were component and made sure they knew what they were doing, don't worry and focus on yourself, best you can be and don't compare yourself with this spoilt kids that will always be better off than you.
Well I'm from a middle class family and I've started an e-commerce bussiness at 13 by reselling items. I've made good money and I didn't have much capital to start. I sold my old clothes then I bought things to sell, then bought in bigger quantities

nothing new, just ripping off ideas from companies who already made or have services and products that rival this. the only reason it's on the news? it's kids.
Oh dear. Kids are frequently overconfident and think that they're doing something special. I'm all for encouragement and even business coaching, but selling paper and pencils to a few other kids - "new billionaires"? Seriously BBC. Even the most interesting idea - the faster 3D printer, had more than a flavour of immature idealism to it. I mean we can all see where there are market openings - "Instantaneous global travel for a dollar". Converting those dreams into reality is the real problem
The problem is not that there overconfident. Most people don' have the guts to try and run their own buisness. Too many people think like engineers and would rather work on the idea than learn valuable skills in running a buisness. Schools teach a dated factory model of conformity. These kids will do very well in life as the overconfident ones are willing to put themselves out there to get results
You certainly make good points Ryan, but I disagree with your conclusion that over-confidence leads to success. America is number one globally in overconfidence, but I don't think (just guessing here) that they have a higher ratio of business start-ups per 1000 people than anywhere else in the world.
When these kids and their cute companies get introduced to hostile corporate takeovers and stock buyouts, reality will hit them hard. Not to mention intelligence leaking. A kid can have an amazing idea, but it all means shit if someone else steals it and makes it a reality faster than you can. LOL
BogotaDreamTV4 Exactly what I'm saying. You have to be ruthless in business. Which is why I'm saying most are in for a rude awakening. Business sense is grown with greed, most of these kids look like they are just there because their parents are paying them to be there.
Hahaha you hating idiot. These kids have accomplished way more than you or the 26 sheep that have upped your comment. They've started to dream and take a step forward. Imbecile, crabs like yourself want to pull others down because you aren't getting anywhere in life. You drool at the thought of quitting your 9-5 and don't have the fucking back bone to walk a different path and start something of your own. Have fun dwelling in mediocracy!
Brickstun Ram LOL. Yes I do work 9-4 and on average I get around $500-$2000 per day from trading in the stock markets. While I admit it is not as high as some people and I want to increase my earnings to $5000-$20,000 per day But you know what? I love what I do every second of it, never thought it was mediocre in my life. Laters flamer
ThRippJck oh of course! As is clearly evident in your history full of anime and bullshit. That's sad that you lied about that because it's actually what I do and a dream of yours hahahahaha
Imagine them at the age of 30. No friends, no real friends that is, no experience that came at a certain life span and is merely a "one time only" thing within that life span, weird expectations from people around them, social skills at a zero degree freezing point and what not. Parents are parents not only because kids need to have some food and clothing, but also to accomodate kids with the very best they can have - a childhood. Fairy tales, games, basic education... kids got a lot of time to learn that the world is fucked up and that many people work all day to get some money to spend it again so they can go work all day again. Until they die one day. But don`t get me wrong. Paid education is a good thing in some places, since many of todays schools accept a variation of children with a wide range of ideas and at the end they emmit sterile gray shaded people with a diploma, where one is like the other.
Have literally no idea what youre talking about lol. You sound jealous right now... Why cant they befriend each other? Are you one of those people who needs 2000 facebook friends and spends everynight out drinking with your "ride or die" homies because you need to escape from life? These kids are building your kids futures. Does Bill Gates seem unhappy? Steve Jobs? Oprah? Being an entrepreneur puts you in contact with powerful allies and friends. As an entrepreneur its frustrating listening to people talk about sports and tv shows and blah blah im broke and job sucks blah... I LOVE hanging out with people like me because we can (literally) move mountains if we need to to get things done. Im happy these kids wont be experiencing the "work till you die" lifestyle so many people fall into. And the best thing? You could be doing it too if youd take the blinders off. Put down the beer, stay at home, save $, invest/build/invent with the $ and tweak it till you take flight. In America ANYONE can make it, but most people never even try. Peace.
GamesweiveR Did you really reply to my comment? Because I got the feeling that you do not adress me in any way at all. It is always interesting how people from different places can totally misunderstand each other. And some conversations are totally helpless and lost, because at least one of the conversation partners (or both) do understand the language, the words, but drift appart with the meaning :) ...and I am not jealous, I wish everybody just the best (until they piss me off for no reason), I got a happy life, I am not the "work till you die" person, I got around 9 friends (on Facebook around 100 but that is for sport events reason so I can send everybody invitations)
iiiYEDDLEiii Ok, benefit of the doubt time. What were you trying to say exactly? I took it as an attack towards the kids because they're being trained from so young to lead and build. I see no problem with this and was defending that one position as a fellow entrepreneur. I do however agree with your assessment of most education in general and how the system is designed to crank out bland citizens, or "worker bees" as I call them.
iiiYEDDLEiii Imagine having $400,000 loan for housing, earn $2000 a month. And get married to ugly fat women. Well, unless you became rich you'll ended up just like that.
YuiHritsua These kids won't end up as Elon musk or Mark Zuckerberg. You can start later might end up being more successful. That's beauty of this. It's never too late
***** not to microsoft, I said PCs. iMacs pretend to be fully fledged computers when they are just macbook pros with the screen flipped around permanently with stand a mouse and wireless keyboard.They even only have mobile graphical processors.
And people be like, "I have a college degree! Yay I made it. Now I can just chill and live my life." Brah. You haven't even made a tiny scratch on the world. What have you done to make the world a different place? Little 15 year old kid applying for patents like he's ordering fries in a drive thru
VGclassicVG Just like everyone else?Just like BHAD BHABIE or shitty rappers for example ? Maybe he has given up on life ,maybe he didnt .I wanted to point out that in your comment you seemed rather pessimistic on this topic , so I brought up the other side of the coin in discussion. I dont care that much to look further into his details , I m just saying. Yes there are kids with his talent ,but there are not that many it can t be compared with a video game ;) it just can t. He thinks while he writes the code , looks for solutions , and does something kids of his age usually by a strong majority don t even think of doing.
1. I said he s getting a lot of experience from his work ,I never said he is going to be the future billionaire or something ,it is just persons like you and him are rare ;) . Even if maybe you are surrounded with people that have a lot of knowledge and talents , that doesn t mean that the talents seen by you in them are that common. For a good programmer it is quite common to have the mentioned traits , but for the rest of the world it isn t ,mostly . There are 18.5 million programmers roughly worldwide ,while there are more than 7.6 billion people. If you compare the two , the abilities of progammers are quite unique ,even if they are common in their group. 2. You think coding is just as easy as gaming because you actually learnt it but for the other common folk ranging from 14 to 60 or older that never ever layed their fingers on an IDE the whole thing will look like wizardry to them at the first glance.And even if they actually tried once they will be reluctant to learn it for personal reasons(it might be boring for them , they don t have an algorithmic mind , they don t use their creativity to the fullest etc). 3. Visual Studio is not that basic ,it is very popular because you have most of the languages of the world there to download and you can make both easy and difficult projects , it depends on the individual knowledge , creativity and so on. Will you see surgeons complaining on most of the operations can be? No , for them is second nature. If you feel like it is easy to program , then it means you mastered it at some degree .
Ahmes Syahda like what Victor Sv said, MacBook storage cannot be upgraded and when you start to write code that uses a lot of RAM you have to be able to modify it. With MacBooks you have to constantly wipe your RAM and when you're working on serious code that's not ideal.
After reading all the comments, I'm just blown away. There is more to life than money, far more. I'd rather die poor and happy than live rich and miserable. Without life's tough lessons to teach them these kids may grow up to be selfish arseholes. They might get lucky and live full enjoyable lives, but what are the chances? And who's to say these kids will continue to have the drive they need to push ahead with this stuff? I started my second business at 25 and within 3 years was taking home, after tax and expenses, $10,000 a week. One selfish wife and a divorce later and I was on the dole. Life has a way evening things out. I never got the desire or the drive needed, to start again, back after that. Sure, I've done ok, but I learned very quickly that nothing last in this world. Now, I've traveled more than most people, I meet a spectacular, caring, loving woman in America and we live in Australia. She's happy, I'm happy and that's all that matters. Sure, we struggle from time to time with money, but even the very wealthy have money issues. It's not about how much you earn, people, it's about how much you burn.
Well, this is an actual representation of failure, you felled one time, and you'll never get up. Money (believe it or not) is a important thing. It's stupid to think "you die poor or rich, it doen't matter". What about your kids, your grandkids. Do you want to leave a mark, not only in your family line, but in the whole becoming generations by being a recognised person? Or are you just going to sit there and say: "money's not important"
Crusty Gronk - I wonder why we never meet a person who has never been through divorce in west or east. Is it only asia which has least divorce rate however rising lately due to western influence and media exposure? Great story though.
Thanks BBC, now tell us their backgrounds. You know where are they from, how wealthy are their families or the other way around, how are they doing in school currently and what do their teachers think of them. Things like that.
Listening - to practice your English 1. Thomas ... a.is a 15 year old billionaire b.sells mobile apps c.films videos for RUclips 2. This summer Thomas ... a.has plans to go somewhere b.wants to improve 3D printing c.wants to use a 3D printer to create a new product 3. The main objective of the school in the video is to teach the students ... a.how to create their own business b.how to advertise their a product c.how to use social media 4. One of the three twelve-year-old children says that children can be better at creating things because ... a.they can be more original b.they work faster c.they know a lot about technology 5. What seven-year-old Kiowa Kavovit likes about being an entrepreneur is that ... a.she can be an inventor b.she can be on TV c.she can do what she wanted 6. Kiowa ... a.wants to be a zoologist in the future b.has animals at home c.likes zoos
And to think at my school all they taught us was how to do basic math science history art and language. Screw the older generations of students that actually need this training. Nooo, they're not about to enter the workforce.
“Stupid kids being born into wealthy families and doing things that can change the world instead of hanging out and playing sport and video games.” That’s stupid, sure they have an advantage being born into wealth, but at least they’re using it in productive ways, doesn’t make the stuff they’re doing less impressive
watching this makes me hate my mom.. she realised very early that I was a fast learner and held me back intentionally so I would have things to learn at preschool, kindergarden and school in general.. but instead I just ended up resenting the teachers for not teaching me stuff fast enough, eventually I stopped filling in the tests since they were just repeats of old ones.. for some reason they got worried I had trouble understanding, they gave me a diagnostic test and I aced it.. then the cycle just continued, they spent the next years asking me why I performed so poorly on tests when they knew I allready knew this stuff - I thought the question itself held the answer.. I changed schools, aced the diagnostic tests.. and the same shit started again.. atleast this school had lectures with discussions, opinions and diffrent perspectives mattered all of a sudden - so there was a passtime besides performing mediocre at tests.. the first academic validation I felt was when there was a brief mention about stephen hawkins in the media of the gamma radiations from black holes, because it confirmed the equations in my head that kept my occupied in school.. simply put black holes are not black they are white, matter is black, they don't pull the universe in they expand it.. old news now yes but back then I felt so happy there was something my equations applied to.. reading about quantum physics calmed my mind.. I could understand it.. just not talk to anyone about it.. (how I wrote it now is how I've learned to explain it rather then the more accurate way of describing it) and then shit happened with everyone and everything in my life.. and I spent the next years depressed, I'm finally glad again and couldn't really care less about a certified education, can't stand the system... I've spent most of this time learning to explain myself so as many as possible can understand me, I'm finally happy how well I'm now able to do so.. (even if I feel as if I'm recovering from a brain injury, it is just so slow this way..) Seeing this video about these children being so clever made me resentful, jealous, I haven't really accomplished much and it frustrates me how much I could have been able to do if I would have had support growing up.. I had the need for a guide as I had no clear direction besides just learning, the teachers briefly filled this role but not to my desire.. I know I'm happy now.. it is just the overachiver in me screaming for validation but I know I'll be happier not seeking it. (the reference about brain injury is my perspective about how it is to learn how to talk about "the shapes that my equations make" instead of the number that no one really understands.. forgoing the left side for the right side even if I think that is rather nonsensical way of formulating it I can't help to think that is what I'm doing when I'm "translating" numbers into images that I can explain more easily..)
The point here is that kids knows no shame and is at the most creative phase of their life. Make money or not doesn't matter, pursuit your dreams and make them happen before you become like one of us grown ups, we have bills to pay, orders to follow, and consider everything with man made consequences.
Not good! Let children be children; from birth 'til at least 18 or 21 (depending on countries)... Have fun, breath, be playful and rejoice yourself about being part of Life; but not this make belief world of arbitrary competition... Very, very sad how narrow minded some people really are!
zombiekiller117 Have you made the effort to at least read the first words? The comment was made specifically on the well-being of children and not playful adults! Nuance...
You have no idea. Probably not the one who is in 3D printing who looks passionate but the other ones are clearly conditionned by their parents to think this way, and once they become adults, they might just say fuck off to all of this and become farmers, which is btw a good thing for sure lol
Im really shocked by all the negative comments! How can you guys be so stupid and outdated....listing good to this kid 1:27! This is absolutely briljant that is what we should be teaching children instead of brain washing them with a 100 years old textbook! Kids should be creative and free to experiment with ideas while they are young and carefree!
Look at all the negative comments. If this was about kids praying in a church or at school, no one would say shit. But as they are learning in a modern faith free environment and learning about the real world everyone complains. They are learning about business which is what educated people work in. Why is that a bad thing?
Makes you happy and sad that a 10 year old could make more money by the time they are 18 and live to enjoy it then someone making money much later in life
The sad thing is, this is 6yrs ago and still schools are behind with whats needed for when you leave, they still teach languages, WHY?, they only teach one language, and different schools teach another language, drop foreign languages, drop geography, drop religion as you can learn about religion in history and it'll be all religions not one forced on you, most of whats taught in schools is not needed, kids leaving into the working world with nothing to offer unless they go to college/Uni for years. I have no idea what schools in other countries are like, but here in the UK, they are garbage, we have a government stuck in the past with its head up its own backside, we need modern education, laws and politicians, sick of all the old farts in charge with no clue what so ever.
I am all up for kids being encourage to be all they can but come let them have childhood for a while and no I am not jealous I happy for them but if every kid is CEO who is the workers of the company's they cannot all be successful and I feel this will increase suicide rate in those kids once they hit adult years.
I was like those kids when I was younger am now 17 and I think they are cutting their childhood short trying to become adults before their time.I used to make apps and design little gadgets for my parents.i now realize that it was just to make them proud I didn't enjoy it as much as kicking a balk or watching TV but I like that my parents praised my work but it wasn't worth my childhood
The real problem with this is that not every school is forward thinking enough to implement this, and implement it _well,_ and so we end up with half-assed electronics programs taught by middle-aged librarians who are completely out of their depth.
I self taught 3d animation and graphic design by myself and live in lower middle class. I saved up the money over a couple years to afford a computer and tried it out from boredom. I didnt take online classes though. I believe Its better to learn yourself from trial and error. I started animating 2 years ago and am still learning easier and better ways to do things. Its not easy You cant just learn how to 3d animate in a couple months. It takes years when self teaching. After my father (who does not live with me) seen the potential i had and the possibilities for a bright future he bought me a new computer that is near perfect for what i do. Now i can get stuff done much more faster.I used my old computer for over 3-4 years. I am not rich or spoiled. My dad is wiser with money than my mother that is why he could afford it. He saw that it could bring in some money one day and he is right. But yeah. Kids like the ones in the video most likely had filthy rich parents that spoiled them and told them to do what they do and hired professional trainers etc.
Ben Hager My cousins lived in China, their parents earn $120 a month. He couldn't afford to go to school or even own a computer, so he ended up working in factory as well. All that so you could afford your fucking cheap computer which most likely have at least 50% of the parts made in china.
These kids either are backed by wealthy families or are extremely lucky to have teachers who reach out and offer these serveries. I can tell you, here in 3rd world countries there are literally no programs that capitalize on actually developing young children. All we must do is force our way through a strict education system that only serves to make you into regurgitating robots. Our critical thinking/problem solving skills are never developed, hence the country as whole never will either.
Jake Harrington Well you just said you aren't rich so, please, remove yourself from my line of sight, peasant. And why are you calling me out as if I'll come, you won't even remember me or this conversation in about 3 hours time haha.

Oh dear. Kids are frequently overconfident and think that they're doing something special. I'm all for encouragement and even business coaching, but selling paper and pencils to a few other kids - "new billionaires"? Seriously BBC.
Even the most interesting idea - the faster 3D printer, had more than a flavour of immature idealism to it. I mean we can all see where there are market openings - "Instantaneous global travel for a dollar". Converting those dreams into reality is the real problem
bro actually even to reach the position of CFO or CEO requires great deal of hard work and sacrifice...but if kids are determined no question abt it
lol.
The problem is not that there overconfident. Most people don' have the guts to try and run their own buisness. Too many people think like engineers and would rather work on the idea than learn valuable skills in running a buisness. Schools teach a dated factory model of conformity. These kids will do very well in life as the overconfident ones are willing to put themselves out there to get results
You certainly make good points Ryan, but I disagree with your conclusion that over-confidence leads to success. America is number one globally in overconfidence, but I don't think (just guessing here) that they have a higher ratio of business start-ups per 1000 people than anywhere else in the world.
Mat Broomfield my dad runs interviews and says that the best ones for the job are the confident people who put themselves out there without fear.
it's a wix site... wtf
So where are these kids getting these resources for such projects?
Yes that's right you worked it out their parents are millionaires.
*so true* 🥺
yah?,,,,,,and?
@@kevinpatrickcarey3741 The story of self-made Millionaires is BS.
When these kids and their cute companies get introduced to hostile corporate takeovers and stock buyouts, reality will hit them hard. Not to mention intelligence leaking. A kid can have an amazing idea, but it all means shit if someone else steals it and makes it a reality faster than you can. LOL
BogotaDreamTV4 Exactly what I'm saying. You have to be ruthless in business. Which is why I'm saying most are in for a rude awakening. Business sense is grown with greed, most of these kids look like they are just there because their parents are paying them to be there.
Hahaha you hating idiot. These kids have accomplished way more than you or the 26 sheep that have upped your comment. They've started to dream and take a step forward. Imbecile, crabs like yourself want to pull others down because you aren't getting anywhere in life. You drool at the thought of quitting your 9-5 and don't have the fucking back bone to walk a different path and start something of your own. Have fun dwelling in mediocracy!
Brickstun Ram LOL. Yes I do work 9-4 and on average I get around $500-$2000 per day from trading in the stock markets. While I admit it is not as high as some people and I want to increase my earnings to $5000-$20,000 per day But you know what? I love what I do every second of it, never thought it was mediocre in my life. Laters flamer
+Brickstun Ram lol just wait to it actually happens
ThRippJck oh of course! As is clearly evident in your history full of anime and bullshit. That's sad that you lied about that because it's actually what I do and a dream of yours hahahahaha
Imagine them at the age of 30. No friends, no real friends that is, no experience that came at a certain life span and is merely a "one time only" thing within that life span, weird expectations from people around them, social skills at a zero degree freezing point and what not. Parents are parents not only because kids need to have some food and clothing, but also to accomodate kids with the very best they can have - a childhood. Fairy tales, games, basic education... kids got a lot of time to learn that the world is fucked up and that many people work all day to get some money to spend it again so they can go work all day again. Until they die one day.
But don`t get me wrong. Paid education is a good thing in some places, since many of todays schools accept a variation of children with a wide range of ideas and at the end they emmit sterile gray shaded people with a diploma, where one is like the other.
Well describes the education system
Have literally no idea what youre talking about lol. You sound jealous right now... Why cant they befriend each other? Are you one of those people who needs 2000 facebook friends and spends everynight out drinking with your "ride or die" homies because you need to escape from life? These kids are building your kids futures. Does Bill Gates seem unhappy? Steve Jobs? Oprah? Being an entrepreneur puts you in contact with powerful allies and friends. As an entrepreneur its frustrating listening to people talk about sports and tv shows and blah blah im broke and job sucks blah... I LOVE hanging out with people like me because we can (literally) move mountains if we need to to get things done. Im happy these kids wont be experiencing the "work till you die" lifestyle so many people fall into. And the best thing? You could be doing it too if youd take the blinders off. Put down the beer, stay at home, save $, invest/build/invent with the $ and tweak it till you take flight. In America ANYONE can make it, but most people never even try. Peace.
GamesweiveR Did you really reply to my comment? Because I got the feeling that you do not adress me in any way at all. It is always interesting how people from different places can totally misunderstand each other. And some conversations are totally helpless and lost, because at least one of the conversation partners (or both) do understand the language, the words, but drift appart with the meaning :)
...and I am not jealous, I wish everybody just the best (until they piss me off for no reason), I got a happy life, I am not the "work till you die" person, I got around 9 friends (on Facebook around 100 but that is for sport events reason so I can send everybody invitations)
iiiYEDDLEiii Ok, benefit of the doubt time. What were you trying to say exactly? I took it as an attack towards the kids because they're being trained from so young to lead and build. I see no problem with this and was defending that one position as a fellow entrepreneur. I do however agree with your assessment of most education in general and how the system is designed to crank out bland citizens, or "worker bees" as I call them.
iiiYEDDLEiii Imagine having $400,000 loan for housing, earn $2000 a month. And get married to ugly fat women. Well, unless you became rich you'll ended up just like that.
WTF is this!! Do they even understand what they are saying??

He can call himself an app maker, but not a coder BECAUSE HE HAS A FUCKING MAC!
***** EVERYTHING!!!!
Can't not be a Fanboy. Well. no.
You can CODE/PROGRAM on a PC AND Mac. I would not choose for a Mac though.
Stefan Teunissen atleast he's using a macbook cus iMacs suck, but the Mac Pro is decent.
Can't not be a Fanboy. Yea
***** not to microsoft, I said PCs. iMacs pretend to be fully fledged computers when they are just macbook pros with the screen flipped around permanently with stand a mouse and wireless keyboard.They even only have mobile graphical processors.
And here I am, 20 years old and still have no clue about what I want to do for a living sigh...
Hey .. you are 26 right now .. how is life?
Hope you're doing good friend.
Why dont you try looking into bussiness?
And people be like, "I have a college degree! Yay I made it. Now I can just chill and live my life." Brah. You haven't even made a tiny scratch on the world. What have you done to make the world a different place? Little 15 year old kid applying for patents like he's ordering fries in a drive thru
Junior Shepherd that 15 year is apply a patent on a project from an open source framework. He’s basically doing nothing himself
why make the world a different place when u can make ur own world whatever u want, whenever u want. making a difference on the world is ur own choice
VGclassicVG he s stil going to get A LOT of experience , among other things.
VGclassicVG Just like everyone else?Just like BHAD BHABIE or shitty rappers for example ? Maybe he has given up on life ,maybe he didnt .I wanted to point out that in your comment you seemed rather pessimistic on this topic , so I brought up the other side of the coin in discussion. I dont care that much to look further into his details , I m just saying. Yes there are kids with his talent ,but there are not that many it can t be compared with a video game ;) it just can t. He thinks while he writes the code , looks for solutions , and does something kids of his age usually by a strong majority don t even think of doing.
1. I said he s getting a lot of experience from his work ,I never said he is going to be the future billionaire or something ,it is just persons like you and him are rare ;) . Even if maybe you are surrounded with people that have a lot of knowledge and talents , that doesn t mean that the talents seen by you in them are that common. For a good programmer it is quite common to have the mentioned traits , but for the rest of the world it isn t ,mostly . There are 18.5 million programmers roughly worldwide ,while there are more than 7.6 billion people. If you compare the two , the abilities of progammers are quite unique ,even if they are common in their group.
2. You think coding is just as easy as gaming because you actually learnt it but for the other common folk ranging from 14 to 60 or older that never ever layed their fingers on an IDE the whole thing will look like wizardry to them at the first glance.And even if they actually tried once they will be reluctant to learn it for personal reasons(it might be boring for them , they don t have an algorithmic mind , they don t use their creativity to the fullest etc).
3. Visual Studio is not that basic ,it is very popular because you have most of the languages of the world there to download and you can make both easy and difficult projects , it depends on the individual knowledge , creativity and so on.
Will you see surgeons complaining on most of the operations can be? No , for them is second nature.
If you feel like it is easy to program , then it means you mastered it at some degree .
"I'm ceo of isupply" lol that website was made with wix. My 90 year old grandma could do that
😂
And of course they use macbooks
***** lol good one
so your professors recommends hdd over ssd?
Macbooks have soldiered RAM and SSD into the logic board which are not user upgradeable, Windows laptops however have the option to do so.
Ahmes Syahda like what Victor Sv said, MacBook storage cannot be upgraded and when you start to write code that uses a lot of RAM you have to be able to modify it. With MacBooks you have to constantly wipe your RAM and when you're working on serious code that's not ideal.
Victor Sv real programmers use linux
wow... there's a lot of jealous grown-ups about...

You think thats a lot?
It doesn't matter how brilliant you are as a child. If you don't have family or parental support you end up being nothing.
or atleast we can't make it at early stages of like those millionaire kids are doing
After reading all the comments, I'm just blown away. There is more to life than money, far more. I'd rather die poor and happy than live rich and miserable. Without life's tough lessons to teach them these kids may grow up to be selfish arseholes. They might get lucky and live full enjoyable lives, but what are the chances? And who's to say these kids will continue to have the drive they need to push ahead with this stuff?
I started my second business at 25 and within 3 years was taking home, after tax and expenses, $10,000 a week. One selfish wife and a divorce later and I was on the dole. Life has a way evening things out. I never got the desire or the drive needed, to start again, back after that. Sure, I've done ok, but I learned very quickly that nothing last in this world. Now, I've traveled more than most people, I meet a spectacular, caring, loving woman in America and we live in Australia. She's happy, I'm happy and that's all that matters. Sure, we struggle from time to time with money, but even the very wealthy have money issues. It's not about how much you earn, people, it's about how much you burn.
Well, this is an actual representation of failure, you felled one time, and you'll never get up. Money (believe it or not) is a important thing. It's stupid to think "you die poor or rich, it doen't matter". What about your kids, your grandkids. Do you want to leave a mark, not only in your family line, but in the whole becoming generations by being a recognised person? Or are you just going to sit there and say: "money's not important"
If I was poor I wouldn't be happy
can you say what the business was and what happened to your ex-wife?
Crusty Gronk - I wonder why we never meet a person who has never been through divorce in west or east. Is it only asia which has least divorce rate however rising lately due to western influence and media exposure? Great story though.
Thanks BBC, now tell us their backgrounds. You know where are they from, how wealthy are their families or the other way around, how are they doing in school currently and what do their teachers think of them. Things like that.
Exactly, they are not telling the whole story. The whole story is infinitely sadder.

2:07 That peach was JUICY wasn't it? omg XD im sooo done lol
This is so awesome. Good job to those kids, their school & teachers, and mentors.
And their very wealthy and financially comfortable parents 😂😅
@@letsdoodlesomethinghome3404 Even if you had that i bet you wouldn't be able to do what these kids are doing.
And to think at my school all they taught us was how to do basic math science history art and language. Screw the older generations of students that actually need this training. Nooo, they're not about to enter the workforce.
my school got rid if the work experience program
i hate the PTA board so much
“Stupid kids being born into wealthy families and doing things that can change the world instead of hanging out and playing sport and video games.” That’s stupid, sure they have an advantage being born into wealth, but at least they’re using it in productive ways, doesn’t make the stuff they’re doing less impressive
Hi, I am Barack Obama, President of USA
LOL

The key is speed? SPEED IS KEY!!
"That peach was juicy, isn't it?".... Witnesses: *Blank stares and forced silence.* Pig: *Please stop harassing me.*
watching this makes me hate my mom..
she realised very early that I was a fast learner and held me back intentionally so I would have things to learn at preschool, kindergarden and school in general..
but instead I just ended up resenting the teachers for not teaching me stuff fast enough, eventually I stopped filling in the tests since they were just repeats of old ones.. for some reason they got worried I had trouble understanding, they gave me a diagnostic test and I aced it..
then the cycle just continued, they spent the next years asking me why I performed so poorly on tests when they knew I allready knew this stuff - I thought the question itself held the answer..
I changed schools, aced the diagnostic tests.. and the same shit started again.. atleast this school had lectures with discussions, opinions and diffrent perspectives mattered all of a sudden - so there was a passtime besides performing mediocre at tests..
the first academic validation I felt was when there was a brief mention about stephen hawkins in the media of the gamma radiations from black holes, because it confirmed the equations in my head that kept my occupied in school.. simply put black holes are not black they are white, matter is black, they don't pull the universe in they expand it.. old news now yes but back then I felt so happy there was something my equations applied to..
reading about quantum physics calmed my mind.. I could understand it.. just not talk to anyone about it.. (how I wrote it now is how I've learned to explain it rather then the more accurate way of describing it)
and then shit happened with everyone and everything in my life.. and I spent the next years depressed, I'm finally glad again and couldn't really care less about a certified education, can't stand the system...
I've spent most of this time learning to explain myself so as many as possible can understand me, I'm finally happy how well I'm now able to do so.. (even if I feel as if I'm recovering from a brain injury, it is just so slow this way..)
Seeing this video about these children being so clever made me resentful, jealous, I haven't really accomplished much and it frustrates me how much I could have been able to do if I would have had support growing up.. I had the need for a guide as I had no clear direction besides just learning, the teachers briefly filled this role but not to my desire..
I know I'm happy now.. it is just the overachiver in me screaming for validation but I know I'll be happier not seeking it.
(the reference about brain injury is my perspective about how it is to learn how to talk about "the shapes that my equations make" instead of the number that no one really understands..
forgoing the left side for the right side even if I think that is rather nonsensical way of formulating it I can't help to think that is what I'm doing when I'm "translating" numbers into images that I can explain more easily..)
"the problem with 3d printers that they don't print fast enough, i want them to print faster" - that's the idea we all have been waiting for
I used to sell energy drinks and sweets to people when I was at school. Wheres myy money!!!
i passed maths and thought i was superrr gifted. turn out my class was dumb
The point here is that kids knows no shame and is at the most creative phase of their life. Make money or not doesn't matter, pursuit your dreams and make them happen before you become like one of us grown ups, we have bills to pay, orders to follow, and consider everything with man made consequences.
“I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.” - Jim Carrey
Google glass is too overpriced and a lot of places don't allow it
It's a total rip-off and there's no reason to have it. :)
We need an update on these kids
Future entrée-manures of the world, how cute.
Not good! Let children be children; from birth 'til at least 18 or 21 (depending on countries)... Have fun, breath, be playful and rejoice yourself about being part of Life; but not this make belief world of arbitrary competition... Very, very sad how narrow minded some people really are!
Ok so why not keep being playful and rejoicing in life past 18 or 21 ?
zombiekiller117 Have you made the effort to at least read the first words? The comment was made specifically on the well-being of children and not playful adults! Nuance...
They enjoy it, everyone individual is different, they like what they're doing so they have a good childhood
Roy Mor Pointless comment in a pointless argument... Go figure!
***** Childhood is a social construct, completely arbitrary. You are a troll.
this is awesome, smart kids who are being encouraged to build their own business!
People roasting the kid in the comments were probably sitting on the couch eating Doritos when they were his age.
CEO head of sales and a director of marketing for a school dealer of pencils....
It's amazing the opportunities that the Internet has granted to the current and next generation.
Very humbling. I am really glad there are kids out there who will reach high and do great things.
cuz we have been conditioned to believe making money is "doing great things". It's not.
You have no idea. Probably not the one who is in 3D printing who looks passionate but the other ones are clearly conditionned by their parents to think this way, and once they become adults, they might just say fuck off to all of this and become farmers, which is btw a good thing for sure lol
Him : Making this and that at the age of 15
Me : debating in my head whether I should watch random video here or sleep
Im really shocked by all the negative comments! How can you guys be so stupid and outdated....listing good to this kid 1:27!
This is absolutely briljant that is what we should be teaching children instead of brain washing them with a 100 years old textbook! Kids should be creative and free to experiment with ideas while they are young and carefree!
8 years later, I still don't hear their name anywhere
Because they’re dorks
The only thing BBC is good for is UK Television. So pretty much just Top Gear.
Raging Bull, but now that has gone.
Raging Bull woah, we have some awesome Television.
Look at all the negative comments. If this was about kids praying in a church or at school, no one would say shit. But as they are learning in a modern faith free environment and learning about the real world everyone complains. They are learning about business which is what educated people work in. Why is that a bad thing?
2:05 Very classy CEO.
This Capitalist propaganda makes me sick. Long live the U.S.S.R
I love this, good for them and calling themselves the CEO
Watching this video makes me feel like drinking bleach
What I find really fascinating is that he’s really got the potential to make all this happen, and he’s under 15!
Wow must've been a dry day at the bbc headquarters
my God they look like Singaporean kids...
Makes you happy and sad that a 10 year old could make more money by the time they are 18 and live to enjoy it then someone making money much later in life
I can't help but cringe at this especially at the guy wearing the Google glass 😂😂😂
The sad thing is, this is 6yrs ago and still schools are behind with whats needed for when you leave, they still teach languages, WHY?, they only teach one language, and different schools teach another language, drop foreign languages, drop geography, drop religion as you can learn about religion in history and it'll be all religions not one forced on you, most of whats taught in schools is not needed, kids leaving into the working world with nothing to offer unless they go to college/Uni for years.
I have no idea what schools in other countries are like, but here in the UK, they are garbage, we have a government stuck in the past with its head up its own backside, we need modern education, laws and politicians, sick of all the old farts in charge with no clue what so ever.
I am all up for kids being encourage to be all they can but come let them have childhood for a while and no I am not jealous I happy for them but if every kid is CEO who is the workers of the company's they cannot all be successful and I feel this will increase suicide rate in those kids once they hit adult years.
I was like those kids when I was younger am now 17 and I think they are cutting their childhood short trying to become adults before their time.I used to make apps and design little gadgets for my parents.i now realize that it was just to make them proud I didn't enjoy it as much as kicking a balk or watching TV but I like that my parents praised my work but it wasn't worth my childhood
I bet he's fun at parties
The real problem with this is that not every school is forward thinking enough to implement this, and implement it _well,_ and so we end up with half-assed electronics programs taught by middle-aged librarians who are completely out of their depth.
i have a small Loan of a Million Dollars
Now turn that million into several billion, then we can talk ;)
Gotta open up cmd and put in the command to make the text green. Because that is what you do.
After comparing my childhood to these kids. I feel like a dimwit now
I mean it would be cool to own a company or something as a kid, but I'd rather be carefree and and just be a kid
Wow ! 6 year old pronounces entrepreneur perfect :) at 2:01
I know right! wow!!
Wow antrantpeneur
i want me some boo boo bandits : ) let me check it out. i loved the pig she is an angel ..like me lololol
They will possibly learn about the nasty sides of being entrepreneurs the day Apple lawyers show up because of the "I" in their company's name.
You can see how she concentrates on pronouncing it, they probably took that scene sveral times. Just saying
I like that he had cmd in green and black in the background.
I self taught 3d animation and graphic design by myself and live in lower middle class. I saved up the money over a couple years to afford a computer and tried it out from boredom. I didnt take online classes though. I believe Its better to learn yourself from trial and error. I started animating 2 years ago and am still learning easier and better ways to do things. Its not easy You cant just learn how to 3d animate in a couple months. It takes years when self teaching. After my father (who does not live with me) seen the potential i had and the possibilities for a bright future he bought me a new computer that is near perfect for what i do. Now i can get stuff done much more faster.I used my old computer for over 3-4 years. I am not rich or spoiled. My dad is wiser with money than my mother that is why he could afford it. He saw that it could bring in some money one day and he is right. But yeah. Kids like the ones in the video most likely had filthy rich parents that spoiled them and told them to do what they do and hired professional trainers etc.
Ben Hager 3D animation is not that simple considering all the math that's involved, but I fucking love math so win win for me!!!!!
haha
Ben Hager good shit bro keep it up, never stop improving
Ben Hager My cousins lived in China, their parents earn $120 a month. He couldn't afford to go to school or even own a computer, so he ended up working in factory as well. All that so you could afford your fucking cheap computer which most likely have at least 50% of the parts made in china.
tnt ntn cool story bro
These kids either are backed by wealthy families or are extremely lucky to have teachers who reach out and offer these serveries. I can tell you, here in 3rd world countries there are literally no programs that capitalize on actually developing young children. All we must do is force our way through a strict education system that only serves to make you into regurgitating robots. Our critical thinking/problem solving skills are never developed, hence the country as whole never will either.
You can do whatever u like when u ar that rich
I-Supply kid on the right looks like a young Dave Mustaine lol
Why do people want to be rich? Money is the root of all evil.
Jake Harrington Shut up, stop being a peasant.
Doge wow Come say that to my face and we'll see who's the peasant.
Jake Harrington Well you just said you aren't rich so, please, remove yourself from my line of sight, peasant. And why are you calling me out as if I'll come, you won't even remember me or this conversation in about 3 hours time haha.
Doge wow LOL Like you're rich!
Jake Harrington I wipe my ass with money.
Quite a shame that the Google Glass failed. I wish him luck though. I have applied for a patent on an electromagnetic engine design.
I want to go to that school
Don't say what u might regret.basic math algebra and blah blah blah makes even my head spin.@.@ but programming?XD damn.i wanna learn.:(
Good thing I have 2 books on c++ programming and html from the library.:D
