I have a geek nephew who definitely could have hacked into anything he wanted at age 11.
He is older now, and doesn’t tell me everything, but I know he works the night shift because no supervisors are there and he can do whatever he wants instead of working.
Why? He automated his computer based work so it is done without requiring any effort on his part. His boss does not know—and he will never share that information with his employer.
Really sharp geeks can do miracles with computers.
I know such people too
They are very interested in that particular type of work ...my son-in-law us one. I worked with them in Silicon Valley.
My point wasn’t that there may be an occaissional 11 year old who can do those things....just that most can’t or won’t.
