TechTrotter: Innovation Happens Everywhere

TechTrotter started as a global investigation into innovation hubs often overlooked by the mainstream press.

After two months in Brazil I relocated to India and my observations now cover technology in daily use, Web trends and weird and wonderful aspects of life in the world's largest democracy

Pint-sized entrepreneurs in Harlem

IMG_1330These two moguls in the making were at Lennox Lounge tonight selling home-made candies for $2 apiece. Elijah, age seven, (right) said the price was 4 x 50 cents. Not bad math for a second grader. Said elder brother, Giles III,  age 14, theirs is a multi-generational business. Angela’s World of Creations, which sells chocolate and hard candy lollipops, edible arrangements and assorted souvenirs is a mult-generational business.

While some might worry that these two are working before their time, it was clear they were enjoying themselves and gaining valuable skills. The ability to sell and to comfortably interact with strangers will always serve these two. Some people grow tired of the rat race and become their own boss. For others, entrepreneurship is in the blood.
