In my book, I used Joshua Moore as an example of a member of a “digitally advanced family”
Joshua Moore is 12 years old, born and raised in Silicon Valley, and the child of two software industry executives. His house has always been filled with digital devices, making Joshua very comfortable being immersed in technology. His baby pictures were taken on a digital camera, transmitted to his relatives via webcam, and shared on Ofoto.com as soon as that site came online in 1999. Josh has three computers, a tablet, an Android and WebOS phone, an iPod Touch, an Xbox Kinect, a Wii, and a slew of other electronic devices on his desk in his bedroom. He uses these devices to produce a popular YouTube channel and for his blog on GottaBeMobile.com. His digital camera has recorded videos and taken pictures from the top of Half Dome in Yosemite and Mount Haleakala in Maui, and 40 feet down while scuba diving. His parents don’t pay him any allowance,because he earns money on his own with his blog, as a Google YouTube Partner, and with Google AdSense.
What his father Dennis did not tell me is he is also an impressive musician. Here he is on Ray Wang’s piano, and he is also good with a violin.
