Nuggets of wisdom from kids

Got this video from Fred Wilson's site. Although it is really short, the points articulated by the kids are really awesome.



A couple of things that I pick up from the video:

- The TV broadcast industry is in for a rude awakening. When kids as young as these think that the business is in trouble, there are real issues in the industry. Having said that, TV seems to be the most adaptive to the changes bought about by the Web. There are more experiments being tested in the industry and we shall see what it all leads to.

- Kids want their content anywhere, from computer to their mobile services. How easy have we made it for them to do so? Why doesn't every video site comes with a download-to-mobile option that compresses the video to the right resolution for their mobile devices? Whoever that makes it easy for kids to move their content around will be a clear winner.

- When kids like these grow up and join the workforce, are our companies ready for it? What kind of expectations do these kids have of work? Will they expect everything to function as easily as their Web experiences? How can companies prepare for this future?

What insights have you gained from this video? Is this representative of your experiences with kids? I look forward to your comments.
