We have witnessed in our society the evolutions, innovations and modernizations of our economy. In a business world where trading and industry is alive, entrepreneurs are so much eager to explore their skills and knowledge to keep their business on the right track. So much more on realizing their return of investment through hardwork and proper management. And in that same situations are their contribution for the economic development in a society.
Because of the modern technologies, thru the use of social media, curiosity and innovations of a young mind really took place .learning environment can be easily develop in the mind of these young people. That entrepreneurship is glamoralized by social media that can easily caught up their attention to become productive on their own. A lot of young entrepreneurs get into business venture and earn their own money and live a luxurious life. Aside from the use of social media , the educational curriculum also has its contribution. The teachers facilitate learning on the certain subject like TLE and TVL where they are being taught the importance of putting up their own business in an early age and become a successful entrepreneur. Mikaila Ulmer, age 11, being encouraged by her parents and teacher in Texas to put up a business called “Me and the Bees lemonade”. A flaxseed- and mint- infused beverage that is sweetened mainly with honey. She was being called the “queen bee” later on. The percentage of her profits were donated to beekeepers organizations and she also conducted workshops on saving bees. Another were Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy and Reggie Brown who created the snapshot application in multimedia mobile and an image messaging which allows users to share images. The users of snapshot responded that they can access all its features equally.
Truly, young entrepreneurs are amazing for some reasons. They succeed maybe because they are not afraid to fall, they are risk takers. As the technology advances, they are also experts in it. Their curiosity will lead them to solve problems easily in most convenient way .In that way, their business will continue to grow and be a part of global economic development because of their great contribution.
