I had to ask my son of twelve how to copy and paste lol.He spoke to me like a child and said now watch i am doing then you have a try.Then just to top it all he went and told my friends that us adults shouldnt go on a pc if we dont know what we are doing.Now he is going round their houses showing them all different things on a pc that can be done and they are paying him.He said see you can earn money on a pc.Dont they learn quick and at an early age.

Ya it happens when adult don't know about pc , But if you were already know how to do all things on pc then you don't want to ask. ya it haapens sometime children shows somethign we can't think about it, cause everybody has special things.

Don't feel bad. My generation and his got to, and are getting to, learn computers at a young age. Even my husband, who is only 3 years older than me has to ask me almost everything about computers. Praise the Lord, he is learning well, and I don't have to be there as much anymore. But there are still those occasions where I will get a phone call while at a friend's house or whatever and have to walk him through the problem. I almost think I am pathetic, because I know my computer so well that I can sometimes tell him the problem, and he barely even said 5 words. I am pathetic, ain't I? :'-( Hey, maybe I can make some money troubleshooting over the phone... HMMM...

Well isn't he a smart little whip lol, at least he is making some extra dough showing everyone how to use their computers. Thats a pretty good deal maybe he will grow up an be a teacher or a computer tech.

Wow, not bad at all for such a young age! You've got yourself a bright spark if he's already able to teach others about the functionality of a PC. If he wants, I suggest him taking some classes for more in-depth computer skills, such as PC Repair.
