Don't be surprised, you'll find that many enthusiasts are young teens who have developed an interest in computers very early. A lot of people built their first computers in their very early teen years (myself included).

As for your question on how us youngsters know so much at so young, I can't exactly specify. But as for myself, I'm pretty sure I learned most of this stuff from forums (such as this) and from Google.

100% true, well stated. I'm ~13.5, I guess almost 14 (I go around telling people I'm 14...). Open first system... probably at 10... Got into programming at 11, still programming, and just built my rig this summer. Pretty awesome - if I had the money I would keep on building, but I don't =(...

BTW, I haven't posted for a long time here...

Yeah, I'm 14 as well. I must have been 11 when my cousin showed me some Visual Basic 6 for the first time. This was so cool: you press a button, and of all things, a window opened! I don't know how old I was when I opened up my old Windows 95 system, maybe 10 or 11.

Easier to learn stuff when you're younger. Imagine your grandparents trying to do some programming....

Building rigs is probably the simplest part of computing, all you need to know is whats good and whats not. Programming however, is a whole different story IMO. My interests don't lie there tho.... I just want to build the best rig and play games

It's the same with languages...and basically anything...especially languages and computers. I got my first computer at age 11 ...and then became interested in computers at about age 14...started officially at age 15, and now at age 16, I have learned what would probably take an older person 3 years to learn in under a year :grinthumb .
