My mind has been blown

 

[zorky9]

WOW

 

[bustapr]

This same article without the video was on Toms a while ago lol. I remember everyone fighting over whether "he" was a "she".Old news.

 

[Coca-Cola]

no first please.

 

[tokenz]

...and to think I cant even get my router to give me a faster ping time.

 

[dman3k]

Can I adopt him?

While this kid is obviously very special and gifted, it's a shame that he wants to be a systems engineer. An intellect like his would be put to better use in theoretical physics, or biomedical engineering.

 

[MisterClean]

even this a repost, it's new to me.

Wow, that kid's pretty incredible. I had a hard enough time learning 2 languages, and he's working on his fourth. And he's a computer whiz to boot.

All of his talents, and he still has time to help the disabled. Good job, kid. I hope he goes far.

Geniuses are highly appreciated in all fields...

 

[Kelavarus]

Ha! I had that same feeling with computers!

... Sadly I'm not a genius. /envy

It irritates me, people say I'm 'smart' because I can reformat a computer and clean it a little. No, I'm just normal. Everyone else is... Hehe.

Kid probably couldn't find his way out from underneath a blanket though.

 

[HydrogenHuman]

How come all these "prodigies" and "child geniuses" are never heard from again? I've seen so many cases of people talking about these kids who can speak 5 languages and understand nuclear physics, but I never hear about them doing anything.

Don't get me wrong, this kid is incredible, but we'll see if his priorities shift when he hits his late teens.

 

[gti88]

Although I'm much older, I'm envious of this boy's capabilities.

 

[shoshu]

the child is a GIRL, and i want to ask WHO is that IDIOT who decided its a boy??

 

[LATTEH]

man its like his brain is running an i7 and mine is running an old pentium....


thats probably why i want an i7 so bad o_o lol i wish i was that smart at that age

 

[nforce4max]

One thing I have learned about these types is to take them with a grain of salt. There are prodigies out there but the "token" types are either frauds or are limited to just one area or skill set. It is a shame that most of the talent out there is wasted before ever being realized. Corporate America only standardizes while the creativity get stifled.

 

[zild1221]

The government scoffs them up and does insane tests on them. Once they are done working for the government there is nothing left of their mind!

 

[aaron686]

:O

 

[xaira]

my life of un achievement, im gonna go kill myself now

 

[joytech22]

Holy c*** that kid's a GENIUS! and i thought i was good with computers at my young age..

Blasphemy! (wait what does that word even mean?)

 

[Hellbound]

His mom is hot.......

 

[wotan31]

Too bad his didn't focus his talents on studying a real operating system instead. Windows. LOL.

 

[stratplaya]

Get a hair cut hippie!

And yes, his mom is hot.

 

[kelfen]

up most respect for this kid
