Studies: 90 percent of kids use computers

“About 90 percent of people ages 5 to 17 use computers
and 59 percent of them use the Internet — rates that are, in both
cases, higher than those of adults. Even kindergartners are
becoming more plugged in: One out of four 5-year-olds uses the
Internet.”


VC Guru on Coming of the ‘Next Big Thing’


Q: So, Guy, tell me… what will be the next big thing?

Almost by definition that is in the hearts and minds of young
people in educational institutions. The job of the early stage
investors is to find those people, and not necessarily to know what
that thing is. People have hazard at guesses — a real explosion in
biotech or wireless, but the wireless journey has already begun.
That may already be here so I don’t know if you can call it the
next big thing. Those are the ones mentioned most often — wireless
and biotech.”
