“小喬布斯”的演說

At the opening ceremony in Manhattan “TED Talks” conference, 12-year-old boy genius (Thomas Suarez) shared his creative experience and technologyon with the audience. Confident, demeanor and no stage fright, he is simply a younger version of Steve Jobs.

Influenced by his parents and Steve Jobs, Suarez starts learning programming, Python, Java and C language. Suarez has developed a well-known iPhone application “Justin Bieber”. If you think these are not insignificant, he recently created his own company “Carrot Corp”.

The speech is as following.

“Hello everyone, my name is Thomas Suarez. Ive always had a fascination for computers and technology, and I made a few apps for the iPhone, iPod touch and ipad. Id like to share a couple with you today. My first step was a unique fortune terror called Earth Fortune. That explains different codes of earth depending on what your fortune is. My favorite and most successful app is “Justin Bieber”. I created it because a lot of people at my school dislike Justin Bieber a little bit. So I decided to make the app. So I went to work programming it and I really made it during the summer holiday.

A lot of people asked me how I made this. A lot of time the person asking this question wants to make an app also. A lot of kids these days like to play games, but now they want to make them and its difficult because not many kids know where to go to find out how to make a program. Where would you go to find out how to make an app? While this is how I approached, and this is what I did.

First of all, Ive been programming in multiple other programs just to get the basics down, such as Python, C language, Java etc. And then Apple released the iPhone and the iPhone software development kit. It is a swift tool for creating and programming an iPhone app. This opened up a whole new world possibilities for me, and after playing with the soft developing a little bit I made a couple apps and made some test apps, and one of them happened to be Earth Fortune. I was ready to put Earth Fortune on the app store, and so I persuaded my parents to pay the 99-dollar-fee to be able to put my app on the app stock. They agreed and now my apps are on the app store.

Ive got a lot of inspiration from Steve Jobs. I started the app club at the school and the teachers are kindly sponsoring my app club. Any students in my school can come and design, learn how to design an app. This is the way I can share my experience with others.

Id like to finish up by saying what I like to do in the future. First of all, Id like to create more apps, more games. Im working with a third company to make an app. Id like to get into Android programming and development, and Id like to continue my app club and find other ways for students to share knowledge with others. Thank you.”
