They saw a kid smartly working with a smartphone but what does that mean to them and to the point of the movie??

I also took it to be in reference to the quote TabbyCat mentioned.

I just thought they had come up with a brilliant documentary idea

It reminds me of the ending of "Wild in the Streets." The film is about how youth protest and win the right to vote at 14. All people over 30 are taken to concentration camps and fed LSD. But then at the end, the president of the US, who is about 25, gets into an argument with some 10 year old kids. One of them says, "Why can't I be president?" He answers "You're not old enough." So the kids start a rebellion against everyone over 10.
