Sixth Grader Becomes iPad App Wizard

By Michael Lopez

Talk about ambition. Thomas Suarez isn't even a teenager yet and he's already patented tons of unique Apple iPad apps. And, judging by the press he's been receiving this week, he might just be the tween generation's answer to Steve Jobs.

"I've always had a fascination for computers and technology," Thomas told an enthusiastic tech crowd in Manhattan Beach, CA. "[And] I’ve gotten a lot of inspiration from Steve Jobs."

In fact, in Suarez' popular YouTube clip, he's literally mimicking the mannerisms and presenting style of the late Apple icon (minus the black turtleneck). Throughout his speech, Thomas introduces several of his biggest sellers, including a Justin Bieber inspired Whack-A-Mole game.

Amazingly, Suarez has already mastered the computer languages of Python, C, and Java and he even started an App Club at his elementary school. If he keeps things up at this pace, Thomas will be on his way to billionairehood in no time!
