Iscreengrab esivela kumdlalo kaMnu Correira, Paintball!. (Iscreengrab: iYouTube) UJosh Correira uza kuqala unyaka wakhe omtsha eRensselaer Polytechnic Institute ukuwa oku, kodwa sele eneminyaka eli-18 ubudala efumana ukuya kuthi ga kwi-4,000 yeedola ngenyanga- konke kungenxa yokuba wayelungiselela umdlalo wevidiyo okwi-Intanethi.
Umnumzana uCorreira ebesenza imali nge ROBLOX, iqonga le-Intanethi apho abasebenzisi-ngokwesiqhelo abantwana kunye nolutsha-benza kwaye badlale imidlalo eneebhloko zeemilo ezahlukeneyo, ubukhulu kunye nemibala. UROBLOX iphehlelele inkqubo yayo yoTshintsho loMthuthukisi ku-Okthobha ophelileyo, apho abadali banokuguqula khona imali ebonakalayo efunyenwe kwimidlalo yabo-ebizwa ngokuba yiROBUX- ibe yimali yokwenene.
Kwisibhengezo ngale ntsasa sokuba i-ROBLOX iqale kwi-Android, indawo leyo ikwatsho ukuba benze amadola angaphezulu kwe- $ 315,000 edityaniswe nabaphuhlisi bayo.
Kudala ndiyisebenzisa njengomsebenzi wam, uMnu Correira uxelele iBetabeat.
UMnu Correira, ohamba ngegama lomsebenzisi uDaxter33, waqala ukudlala iROBLOX kwiminyaka emithandathu okanye esixhenxe eyadlulayo. Kwakubonakala ngathi ngumdlalo omnandi wokudlala, kwaye wawumnandi. Ndiqhubeke nokudlala kuba ndiyakwazi ukwenza imidlalo kuyo, utshilo ngefowuni. Ngokwenene ndidlala umdlalo ngoku.
Wenze umdlalo wakhe woTshintshiso loMthuthukisi, Paintball! , ekuqaleni kuka-2014. Emdlalweni, abadlali bahlulwe baba ngamaqela amabini, bajongana kumlo wepalball. Xa ebuzwa ukuba urhola malini ngomdlalo, utshilo uCorreira, kutsha nje bekuyi- $ 2,000, ngamanye amaxesha yi- $ 4,000- umvuzo omninzi kakhulu womntwana ogqiba nje kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo.
Abanye [abaphuhlisi] basekholejini, abanye bakwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo, bambalwa abancinci kunoko - mhlawumbi kuluhlu lweminyaka eli-13 okanye eli-14, umseki we-ROBLOX kunye ne-CEO uDavid Baszucki uxelele iBetabeat. Abanye babo bafumana i-2, 3, 4, 5,000 ngenyanga. Nje ukuba uqale ukubetha i-5 okanye i-10,000 ngenyanga, iqala ukuba ngumsebenzi onomdla wokuwenza ngelixa usekholejini endaweni yokuya wenze enye into.
Sasithandabuza ukuba abantwana abancinci kunamabanga aphakamileyo babenoxanduva ngokwaneleyo lokuba babe nokufumana amawaka eedola kwi-Intanethi inyanga nenyanga.
Kuya kufuneka siqinisekise lonke ulwazi lwabo, utshilo uMnu. Bazsucki, Ngokubhekisele kwi-ID yomhlawuli werhafu, siyifumanisa loo nto- asizithumeli nje itsheki enkulu yePayPal. Iintsapho zabo zibandakanyeka kwinqanaba elifunekayo. Sifuna ulwazi oluthile ngaphambi kokuba imali itshintshe izandla.
Ngaba uMnu Baszucki uyabona ababhekisi phambili batsiba ikholeji ukulandela inkqubo yeROBLOX ngokusisigxina, sibuze?
Ndicinga ukuba ngakumbi bayayiqonda indlela abanetalente ngayo besebancinci, kwaye izinto ezahlukeneyo, nokuba kuyilo lomdlalo, uphuhliso, ukubhala ikhowudi, ukwenza iiasethi zedijithali [okanye] ukuthengisa, utshilo. [Yinto] engaphezulu yento ekhuthazayo enokuthi iqhube umntu ukuba onwabe kwaye azame ukufumana isidanga sekhompyuter esikhulu, okanye aye kwisikolo sobugcisa. Ndiyijonga njengokukhuthazeka ngakumbi kunokuyeka ikholeji kwenjini yokuqala.
Nangona uMnumzana uCorreira ecwangcisa ukwenza kakhulu kwiKhemistry ukuze aye kwezamayeza, ngokuqinisekileyo uceba ukuqhubeka nokwenza imidlalo esecaleni.
Kutshanje ndiye ndathenga ikhompyuter entsha, wathi xa sibuza ukuba ukhe wachitha nayiphi na ingeniso yakhe, kuba eyam iyaguga kwaye ayibaleki imidlalo kakuhle, nto leyo endiyenzayo imini yonke.
