The profound influence of the late great inventor, businessman and executive chairman of the Apple Inc. Steve Jobs was remarkably recognized through a 12-year-old boy named Thomaz Suarez of Manhattan Beach, California.
In late 2010, this sixth grader Thomaz Suarez has launched his first two app for the iOS devices, a fortune-telling title called the Earth Fortune and his most popular app ‘Bustin Jieber’, a Whack-a-Mole style game where players squish the disembodied head of Justin Bieber.
Suarez, who is currently enrolled in middle school in the South Bay of Los Angeles, discussed his love of computers as a kindergartener, his plans for the future, and the inspiration he got from the late Steve Jobs during the talk at TEDx Manhattan Beach.
He confidently told the crowd: ‘My parents, my friends and even the people at the Apple store all supported me… and Steve Jobs inspired me.’
According to this little genius,he created the ‘Bustin Jieber’ app because a lot of people at his school disliked Justin Bieber a little bit.
He told of how he became interested in coding and eventually began teaching himself programming basics in Python, C, and Java.
And now, Thomas Suarez created his own company, CarrotCorp, which he sells his own inventions of apps.
Cheers! He might be the next Steve Jobs!
