Didn't these two Snapchat guys sort of defraud
their third original partner, Reggie Brown, who are up with the whole idea for Snapchat in the first place? This is hardly laudatory behavior--shame on Time for failing to even mention this. I hope today's young people look elsewhere for inspiration.

I was wary - thought I'd learn of the next group focused on becoming multi-gazillionaires. How absolutely excellent to pick up on primary motivation shared, which seems to be "making things better generally". (Only checked out the first dozen for now, trust the rest were similar.and will check them out later.)
Also perhaps important to mention: whenever any one individual is able to pursue developing an inspired idea, there are countless supporters who go unacknowledged: parents, grandparents and extended family, classroom teachers, mentors, villagers, ditch diggers, sandwich makers, taxpayers, etc. The best society we can develop is one in which we always remember: the group underlies 'individual' achievement.
Link for 'Snapchat' doesn't work. It leads to the article. Please fix it for guys. :) Cheers!
@All European Youngsters. What the hell on earth are you doing while your peers from all-around the World are changing it? Huh?!
Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy are from Stanford, not that "other" university you mentioned...
change for the better? bitcoin is NOT! they are made by wasting energy by greedy folks. wake up! it is 2013. the world needs sustainable ideas and services and not bitcoin, coinbase or greedy wall street and goldman sachs brokers.
My sister and her friends went to a software house. The man there straight forwardly said that women can't stay in this field, like they [women] are too dumb to code anything. This, they were highly discouraged. Kristin Titus is fighting for the right think. I am with her.
how long we know about Shiza Shahid and malala. actually we don't know enough of them. we just spoil important time to looking at them by deaf media.
it will become more best part of wisdom if we look at Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela profoundly.

no miley cyrus on this list? you mean you guys actually looked for people who are contributing something positive to society? i'm shocked in the best way possible
Excellent question, which causes me to notice - I allowed myself to be 'lulled'. The innovators I checked out indeed are worthy, but you are so correct to include those who 'go to the wall' for need of honesty and transparency in governance!!
I don't deny the gift of his innovation, but IMO, he's become seduced by power/wealth and has rather lost his way for what society needs in 21stC .. just my 'criteria' thoughts.
