Let’s draw parallels if Steve Jobs were a Kenyan. He did call the Intel CEO when he was 12 years old, explaining that he had a technical invention that he thought would be of help to the company. And the Intel CEO bought into his idea, and gave him a space and lab and equipment to bring his ideas to light. Let’s fictionalize how the conversation might have gone if he were a Kenyan. So, let’s assume that he is Mc'Dubious here and the Intel CEO would be a CEO of a telecommunications/media company. here is how the conversation would play out *Mc'Dubious*: Hi, Sir, I’m Mc'Dubious. I have an amazing technology that I believe would be of help to your company. *CEO: * And where did you develop the technology. Who helped you? *Mc'Dubious*: No, I developed it myself, after the school classes. *CEO:* So, you are still in school? *Mc'Dubious:* Yes Sir. *CEO:* Don’t you think it would have been better if you had finished school and then bring up the idea when you are through with school. *Mc'Dubious*: No, but I already figured out the problem, so it makes no difference. *CEO*: Listen, young man, or boy, finish school first, and then we’ll talk when you can come with the appropriate qualification and papers. *Mc'Dubious*: But won’t you give me a chance sir, just to demonstrate it? *CEO:* Listen, I will not enter into discussions with a kid. What do you know anyway.*hangs the phone quickly.* *Mc'Dubious*: But, but…but…. And the dream would have died like that. And young Mc'Dubious would have been subsumed into the system, learning to adopt and stay afloat and twenty or thirty years, is a creative ghost of his former self. I know this has happened or is bound to happen to many of you out there....
