One of my favourites from the Mail regarding computer games (must have been about 2002) was outrage at a 2 year old playing the marvelous N64 game Goldeneye and apparently screaming 'die die' as he was shooting. The problem, from the photo, was that his hands were too small to hold the controller properly and to progress through the game he would have to need to know terms like "DAT tapes" and "install covert modem". If the story was true, in essence, the little boy was a genius.
Pfft! My kids were installing covert modems from about 18 months. Although they were fucking useless at remembering to do backups with the DAT tapes until they were about 3, granted
