World's Youngest IT Whiz
Marko Calasan of Skopje, Macedonia is the world’s youngest certified computer system administrator at the age of eight. He could get a high-paying job, but he hasn’t yet completed third grade!
Marko learnt to read and write at the age of 2 and started working on computers immediately. The news of his extraordinary achievement turned him into a local celebrity and he has even had an audience with the Macedonian Prime Minister, Nikola Gruevski, who presented him with an IT lab with 15 computers to practise on.
His parents, who are IT experts and run a computer school for children, are considering sending Marko abroad to a specialised institute of learning for gifted children, as none exists in Macedonia.
Marko passed Microsoft’s tests for IT professionals. He says he wants to create a new operational system for computers …when he grows up. Link -via Arbroath
