Scott Bedwell, a senior at Bentonville High School, has created an iPhone application. It's a product most of you probably won't use, as it automatically skips from one song in your iPhone library to the next prematurely. The kids are loving it, but it's not going to be popular with adults, but only because they won't get it.
But does it really matter if you will use it? We try so much to promote the value of Benton County, its educational system, its entrepreneurs. Well, now put your money where your mouth is. Bedwell's app is only 99 cents, the lowest price allowed by Apple other than free. It won't be a big hit on your wallets.
And let me suggest a more radical step: Buy the app even if you don't have an iPhone or iPod. All you need is a computer and iTunes (a free program from Apple) and no one will stop you from buying an application for equipment you don't own.
Why do this? Because it promotes our local talent. Because it shows the world Benton County cares for its own. Because Benton County needs to care for its own.
And Scott, when people do buy your app, take my advise and put it away for college or, if you get a scholarship, as seed money for your startup. We have high hopes for you. Good luck.
