I love that the age for starting such endeavors is getting lower and lower. If more and more people are exposed to the possibility of creating their own solutions (and fostering their own interests) from a younger and younger age, it will become the kind of culture that will change the world.

I think it's a return to historical standards. Teenage is a construct of the modern age, which prolonged schooling more and more, keeping young people out of active work life, to an extent that is detrimental both to these young people and society, IMO. Historically, a male of 15-16 was a man, he could work and get married to a girl even younger. Now, I'm not advocating teenage marriage, but teenage implication in work life.
