Getting Started in this Culture

It's been about 9 years of attempting to get this start up going. On and off due to the economy and such things but finally we are making some head way. It is a great idea and one with huge profit potential it is just that the market is not really there completely yet. There are so many possibilities. The millennial are getting to just the right age... or as I like to call them Gen-i. Generation interactive generation immediate, itinerant, isolation , Internet and such. they are a new breed one that looks at life differently then us boomers and like. Some have actually said to me that they don't want careers they just want to be famous and have money. they don't care how they get it just as long as they can have MTV crib like homes. A friend remarked that we have no culture today. He is a historian of civilizations and I have to admit that he is right. What is our culture 112 dollar a barrel oil and a seven year war with 4000 dead. What is our culture - re sampled music that takes tracks from nursery rhymes and makes them into hits. I'm not complaining I'm simply stating facts.
iI mean what do kids have to look forward to $500,000 dollar mortgages and jobs that are being outsourced. An economy that is crumbling under sub prime voodoo and the fact that their $120,000 college bill can't get them a $50,000 a year job. It is not funny and nobody is doing anything about it. Get started! Knowledge management is the new career for these kids. But knowledge of what? Will we all be just marketing geniuses? We need to find products that we actually need. The Web is simply the greatest tool ever created. It connects the world. We need to start teaching these kids about bits not atoms. We need to get started!
