I think software tends to favor the young. In general the biggest companies in tech were founded by younger people.
Google - Founded by 20 somethings
Apple - Founded by 20 something
Facebook - Founder by 20 something
Amazon - Founded by 20 something
So they solve problems for a younger generation.
- mhurron 13y agoThe problem with this is they are not run by 20-somethings now. If they were working on 20-something problems because they were 20-somethings, why haven't they moved on? Also, I wouldn't categorize Amazon as solving problems for a younger generation.
- allenu 13y agoA lot of the problems these companies cover are interesting to everyone. Search is interesting to everyone, maintaining a social network is interesting to everyone, buying stuff online is interesting to everyone. Cab-sharing is not interesting to everyone. Staying in strangers' homes instead of a hotel isn't interesting to everyone. Taking photos of your meals and sharing it with friends is not interesting to everyone.
