"In 1991, as a college freshman, I had an idea for an online service offering "real life" education to college students: practical advice about jobs, personal finance, and health. I made the simple observations that no one was teaching us these subjects in the classroom, and that computers -- rather than books or TVs -- had become the primary medium of communication and entertainment."

That in itself is extraordinary for a college freshman in 1991.

Just FYI,

as a freshman in college 1991, he was about 21 years old. That's from wikipedia, which, by the way, is only a few sentences long. Talk about a low profile multimillionaire.

This article is insanely good. It's not a three paragraph blog post, it's a four page article from somebody who was there. Keep reading! :)
