I wouldn't call the 20 yr old founder a fad but rather a new development. I think that the new economics of distribution mean that starting a company at 20 with no cash will be a permanent option. I do think that it will take a culture shift towards entrepreneurialism to make it more prevalent though.

(full disclosure: I'm 28 with no startup)

Maybe. My guess is that the market for those companies that can be started with little or no money will become saturated (this has probably already started to happen), and the returns will fall. This will dampen some of the current frenzy for young founders.
