It is hard not to notice just how much the younger generations are exposed to the technological innovations of the day. This is the result of globalization, wherein people must keep up or take a GREAT risk in being left behind.
There are times when this exposure may be a bad thing. For example, my younger brother spends more time on the computer chatting with his friends and surfing the Net than with actually talking to people. Hard to properly develop social skills that way. There is also the generation gap wherein there is a lack of understanding or comprehension between us and our parents.
But this exposure is not all bad. One good thing that came out of it is that people are developing a more independent and entrepreneurial mindset at a younger age. I actually met a 12 year old who was selling things online! And with the Internet, the development of such businesses is now faster, easier and cheaper. Their overhead costs are greatly decreased since they don’t have to pay for store space, for electricity and utilities, advertising, or even the wages of employees. Nope. These businesses are fairly self-sustainable and cover a wide range of products – clothes, shoes, food, and accessories. With the emergence of G-Cash and other online cash payment processing systems, even paying for your purchases has become easier. So log on to Facebook or Multiply and start clicking away!
