> Which one is going to be more rewarding: building a smartphone, or making an app?

The counterpoint to this would be: if your child built an app and showed it to their friends, would they be impressed? How about if they built a smartphone?



They'd probably be more impressed with the app. They could all download it to their phone and use it together!


But they already have dozens of similar social apps... it would need to be unique, not just another chat app.
