The OLPC is child’s play

The BBC News website has a great story about a child’s first experience with the OLPC laptop.
Reminds me of my family’s first home computer when I was at the tender age of 11-12. That was almost 30 years ago so obviously we weren’t discovering the Internet, but I was very quick to pick up on programming with no instruction at all. Kids just figure these things out and often even things that no one had anticipated. Does this surprise anyone?
