Summary: 17-years-old Nick D'Aloisio, from Wimbledon, south
London, created the app, Summly – which
provides bite-sized summaries of content from news and other sites, and now
joins an elite group of teenagers who have become internet millionaires.
After
selling his company to Yahoo at £18m, 90% in cash and 10% in Yahoo shares,
he was invited to move over to the headquarters of Yahoo. However, he declined
it as he wanted to continue studying and taking his A levels. He hopes that eventually
he can make it to Oxford University.
Opinion: I feel that it is shocking how these teens are so
creative and smart. They are able to produce apps that are so well liked. They are
all truly geniuses with great potentials. However, as a teenager, Nick is very
clear about his duties, and chose to continue studying instead of joining the
company straight away.
