Will.i.am in Search for the Next Steve Jobs?
There may be a unique twist coming to the popular show X Factor with the help of Black Eyed Peas front man Will.i.am.
The Sun reports that X Factor judge Simon Cowell and Will.i.am are working on a project called X Factor for Tech. Something Will.i.am tells the The Sun is going to be “out of this world.” Sure sounds like it.
What a great concept, that surprisingly no one else has thought of. With the popularity in technology entrepreneurship why not turn it into a show, right?
Will.i.am has been very involved with the technology and STEM communities over the past couples years so it isn’t a surprise he is involved with this project. But it will be interesting to hear what prospective Simon Cowell has on tech and innovation.
The collaboration was announced when Will.i.am spoke at a technology conference in London.
“It’s about getting in touch with youth and giving them a platform to express themselves — whether that’s in science or mathematics,” said Will.i.am.
Would you watch an X-Factor show that focused on tech entrepreneurs instead of singers?
