Editor’s note:  Devin White, 15, is an aspiring inventor and youth blogger for this site.

So this pretty much is the one-month anniversary for me blogging for Inventors Digest, as well as being my 15th birthday this week. So far, it’s been a pretty cool start to the summer.

I was actually waiting at the Connecticut State Tennis Championships where I was playing the tourney, and I had this idea. I want to spotlight you! In two paragraphs, tell me why you should be spotlighted in this blog, and I might pick one, or I might pick five to spotlight in a post. I’d love to hear what some of you kids are doing.

In a way this is a great resource for you. This is the Internet, where anything can happen.  Let’s put it into a scenario.

You submit to get spotlighted on my Edison Jr. blog. Say you get chosen for the month of June. A long-shot? Maybe, maybe not. So now on the last post of June, I’ve already informed that you’re going to be spotlighted. Through people following me on Twitter and such (twitter.com/DevWhite – feel free to follow me, I’ll return the favor) there are some pretty influential and important players in the business who will read the blog.

The more people who read this blog, the more resources you build if you get spotlighted here. That can lead to some big recognition. Who knows, maybe your idea gets picked up and maybe by the time you’re 18 you’re rollin’ in the Benjamin’s, if you know what I mean.

This is the Internet, where anything can happen. It’s such a great tool.

I love music, any kind. If it sounds good, I’m on it. Now a classic example of the power of the Internet. Straight No Chaser is an a cappella  group of 10 guys who formed while at the Indiana University about a dozen years ago. One of the guys put the group’s version of The 12 Days of Christmas on YouTube in late 2007.

Straight No Chaser’s The 12 Days of Christmas had more than seven million hits in December 2007 – one of the hottest viral videos of that season. These guys, who had been working 9-to-5 jobs, soon signed a recording deal with Atlantic Records.

The Power of the Internet. I want to spotlight you. All you need to do is e-mail me at [email protected]

Let’s Show the World. Don’t Stop Thinking.
