Right on! I hate all this 15 year-old computer genius sh*t. When I was 15 I had a strong hold on the real world and I was just as geeky as I am now (most likely geekier). Anyways all this 15 year-old 31337 hax0r d3wd stuff makes me sick. These kids have no power, they just poke at the vulnerabilities in this new "frontier" if you will. These kids go on the internet and do basically what they want, no one is stopping them from looking at pr0n, getting 3117 warez and becoming script kiddies that can run DoS attacks on a webserver. Adults (most of them atleast) don't have time for such juvenile and deviant activities because they are too busy working for a living, paying bills, putting food on the table and all the other activities that come with being a well-rounded and responsibile adult.
When I was 15 people used to ask me what sports I played in school and I would tell them I didn't really play sports, I spent a lot of my time on the computer they would respond "OOOHH a computer genius huh, are we going to see you with a.com?". What a stupid comment. Just because I like computers and I am well-versed in the field does not mean I am a genius by any means. Does playing football in high school make me a Quarterback for an NFL team... no. Does playing basketball a lot make me an NBA star?... I think not. Anyways these kids are not powerfull, they simply do these things because they can. Thousands of adults make millions on the stock market each year, all of the sudden one kid uses the computer and makes a million dollars, if kids are so powerfull now why don't we see more making millions each year? Why dont we see 15 year old kids on Wall Street in business suits? The interent is just doing what it does best... opening doors for all people. Yes they can run webservers, they can make money on wall street, but they are still kids. I don't know about you but I woudn't want any 15 year old kid running the government, or large corporations where the real "power" is. Sorry for the ranting and any spelling mistakes hehe.
Good idea man... I can store like my pot and my schrooms and my acid man. No one will ever know man. Thanks alltel, man, for keeping the American Dream alive man. hehe. Hey, wait, but my bongs wont fit man.
Both bhamon and michael must have toked a huge bowl before posting this story. Please. Isn't their any real news? Like maybe something about Sasquach or the Chupacabra?
Well, I could do something similar. Only one problem here in the USA you have to be 21 to buy alcohol legaly, unlike most other places ie Spain, France, Scotland, even Japan. Without alcohol most people don't think they can have any fun. So I guess its off to make my fake id.
Show him how to research and use his own talents, so when you are gone he can use those valuable assets to the fullest potential. We all are/were child prodigies. You just need to find where your talents lie. I don't think education(American atleast) spends enough time on showing kids how to study, how to reasearch, how to socaially network and how to become part of an academic team, and how to learn on their own. Too much time is spent on drilling dull facts into minds that are at the peak of learning ability. Study skills are extremely important but its too often left in the dust in the bland American educational system. I know college kids who still don't know how to study and it causes them a lot of greif and frustration. Teachers too often teach to the book or to the test and not to the child. Like I said everyone is different. The teachers I most enjoy are the teachers who most enjoy what they are doing. They are the teachers who can make anything fun, and If you don't understand something they have no problem sitting down one one with you until you do. As I said, be a guide, don't push information on him. Create a strong diverse academic foundation ranging from the arts, to history, to science. And explain the reasing for the teachings and why such a foundation must be laid. Every subject is important. And make sure proper social interaction is presented. Way too many times have I seen wacked out homeschooled kids or people who were child prodigies and had nothing presented but information. Not only are they extremely dull to talk to or wierd, but they often don't understand the importance of personal hygene. A lot of work goes into creating an operating system, its definatly not something you can jump right into, same goes for human beings.
