well, youtube was not founded by 20-yr olds. chad hurley, steve chen and jawed karim were on the high side of the 25-30 range. and google definitely is not by 20-yr-olds too.. both were closer to 30 as well.. sergey and larry were doing their phds in stanford. they are smart but not smart enough to be child prodigies and enter Stanford phd before 20.. =)
