Save The Web Save The World III: Invest in learning young
Save The Web Save The World.
A fully implantable artificial heart designed to overcome the worldwide shortage of transplant donors will be ready for clinical trial by 2011. How does it relate to the geeks in Silicon Valley?
HTML5 specification is sitting on the completion date of year 2022. This is a deadline projected based on the past including IE5 idle for 5 good years. Many internet founders and contributors will be in retirement age between 60-80 by year of 2022. If medical experts rush to overcome the complexity of placing a fully implantable artificial heart inside a human body, almost a “miracle” dream, is HTML5 specification harder to do than artificial heart, or putting a man on the moon?
Al Gore told the public at Web 2.0 Summit how the web can solve climate crisis. He was giving hints to our President-Elect’s advisors who gathered some intelligences from Silicon Valley. Clean technology alone is not a comprehensive policy. I think moving quicker to HTML5 will help save the world sooner than later. Ideally HTML5 will help making other client-side and server-side technology run more efficiently and save more energy. This is a simple way to put it. More talents are needed to save the web.
This led to the effort to Hackathon 4 Kids session. Many jobs are created by teenagers and young adults by internet companies and Web 2.0 startups. With economic crisis, our CA state is cutting educational program, colleges and universities are exploring ways to limit student enrollment. Fewer students will become engineers or developers. It is important that our web community step up to implement quick solutions for this future shortage. Getting kids to start coding young. Getting parents involved in encourage them to learn coding young.
It is never too young to learn coding. I self-taught myself coding in elementary school when I received my first computer, before age of 10. I wouldn’t hold back any kids who want to learn coding on age. I am hoping attending kids will find their next buddy and future partners. Our future economy in Silicon Valley may be shaped by these young age friendship of entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Paul Allen from Microsoft, Mark Zuckerberg and Adam D’Angelo from Facebook.

This is a message to our President-Elect:
Dear Mr. President,
If the web save your election win, the web is here to save the world. Our Silicon Valley Web Builder group is organized from members that guard the web community in early internet days. This is my wish that our national CTO will interact and work with web community like ours so our government can act quickly to improve our economy.
The short term economic boost from the web is not coming from Web 3.0. Web must go beyond social networking craze. Consider Lifeline Network over social networking platform. Let’s consider putting Government APIs allowing developers to build more useful utilities and tools, little by little, giving chances for web to save lives and assist the aging population in their retirement years in difficult times. Consider policies that assist young adults and startup founders to start business and create jobs. Help us to accelerate web advancement by getting our words out to business leaders.
Help us to save the web. May we keep the dreams living in America.
