I believe you need to first hon your programming and algorithmic skills as means of becoming a way better programmer.

After that, you need to involve yourself in the field of computer technology in general... Keep reading on Mashable about the current trends on the internet (Social Media, Social Networks, Social Apps...etc) ... The only thing you need is an idea which would fulfill a need or solve a minor/major problem... You'll get yourself going after that... ;)

Good luck...
