[bebeheuy]

I am very happy to see the vidoe after you give this Tom is twelve years old, and has more insight to computers than many people three times his age

[AntoMelta]

I Really Like The Video From Your Tom is twelve years old, and has more insight to computers than many people three times his age

[willamricard]

Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing Tom is twelve years old, and has more insight to computers than many people three times his age.

[imegatrone]

after i watched this video Tom is twelve years old, and has more insight to computers than many people three times his age, my insight is very open because the video is very good to give information

The world of computers is too big 

[tgoodfella]

I miss his show and other shows that were on the TechTV channel network. It was a useful and helpful channel that really portrayed computers on a good IT level.

[RyanPiersing]

I hate to correct you but yahoo is not googles friend =]

[OmniQuist]

He was right. My name is Chris!

[maustin78]

I like computers. I like to usually unplug somebody's keyboard or mouse at my school and watch them get all frustrated. Then they ask my for help or turn off the computer and log on a new one.

[maustin78]

its funny

[macuser1232]

@maustin78 same! but then they copy

[griefer1]

id say the first step to learn about computers is to own a computer or frequently use one. :)

[TheBrainStraper]

[TsAr0013]

@MARMARR1 Why must people like you hate so much! Man leave the guy alone its not like you have to listen to him just go watch another video or do something with your life...

[MacOSXLinuxWindows]

Yay! I'm twelve, too. It seems that every-one at my school is just plain dumb with computers. Let me just give you some examples: 'Hey, why isn't my computer starting up?' (power cord not connected), 'Oh my gosh, this computer-monitor-thingy is screwed' (VGA cable not connected). Or the most common excuse for invalid homeword,'But my computer crashed.' Ha, Bullshit!

[abouwer01]

i started by a macintrash oregon trail games i started by playing games and then i started tearing pc and macs apart thats how i learned everything plus :) google and youtube to understand what i didint know

[axxaxaxx]

[DaltonROI]

I knew things like that when i was 2 years old ...

[j1r0n1m0]

@DaltonROI Oh thats great, I first saw a computer when I was 12.

txt a question to 242242

[TheTruthAsUseeIt]

One thing i dont like about this guy is why he has a youtube channel when he only ans questions on his site....basically youtube is just an advertisement for his site guys :) There are far more helpful people online that actually care about helping people with computer problems:)

[MagicPaul7]

i do the same thing. im 14 yrs old, and my dad does computers for a living, so ive always been interested in them, and i always look things up on google before i resort to asking him, and i can usually figure it out myself. (but it never hurts to ask if its a larger problem, rather than pulling your hair out for hours trying t get it lol.)

[TheTechCorner]

same here i am 13

[jerodarts]

he's very wise

and has a good vocabulary

(did i spell that right?)

[gamecuberulers]

lmaomy mom and sister always sey "google is our friend"

[prickleyelephant]

at age 12 i was the president of austraila

[cclossen]

Hi, Chris, This is my biggest lack...tech ability...I made a note of your website. Now I know where to go for help. Thanks for the tips. It's nice to know where to find a Good Geek :-)

[jedixo]

[MelaniePortrip]

[ConnorLug]

[jedixo]

[frvfilms]

yeah, technology is really changing children are getting exposed to things .. that they weren't before..

hopefully they know how to harness this entelligence fro something good!

[RatchetRenegade]

I'm 14 and I program PHP and code XHTML/CSS on websites designed in Photoshop, which I've been doing for over a year now. I also run my own Linux web server/World of Warcraft private server.

[livvidd]

You need a girl friend!

[tigrous4ever]

[R0L4M]

[Djoe2]

At age 12 I was using Apple Mac at School, Nevermind Windows. At around that time, I was a real NumSkull with Computers.

[dadburnde]

I am 12 and a teacher had to ask me for help on her laptop and Ive fixed computers too

[Snatchier]

[MoCrack94]

Im 14 and I think you need a life.

[a51ts2]

The new generation does seem to know a lot more at a young age. But a recent article on slashdot goes over a study done with 3000 students, to which they can spit out information, but can't really understand concepts.

[johnaiton]

i've seen 10 year olds strip apart and upgrade their pcs on youtube,

ages are getting younger!

[mikemoreno1375]

12years old...kids now days...they know so much...the truth is ...that they do....that was a good top 5 chris... thank you...

[martyjerry]

wow is seams that kids nowdays are smarter than some of us grown ups when it comes to computers.

google us my friend.

TxNana

[wallball5]

That's nothing new. That's like, obvious as crap. Anyone with a brain knows that if they need to find information, then go look for it online, in a book or ask someone. But, then I guess there ARE a lot of lazy people out there.

[anon510]

this guys funny treats the obvious like it something he has never seen before any 12 year old could tell you the exact same thing. this video made me laugh

[zainil0]

im 16 but iv been doing that since i was very little. good job Tom i coulndt have said it better my self.

[DavidDude96]

i'm 12 years old too

[Nikiaf]

the best way to learn about computer problems is through experience. I've had my fair share of computer problems over the last 12 or so years, and as a result alot of the problems that my friends ask me for help with, i've already seen and most likely have an answer for it.

[preschmanager]

google is the virtual god. yahoo is purgatory and windows live search is the devil/hell.

[PlatonicKamel]

People ask me how I know so much about computers. Quite often I have no idea what's wrong with their machine; I'm just not afraid to find the problem rather than ask someone else to do it. Each problem solved is a lesson learnt for me, but unfortunately they still won't know what's wrong/how to fix it the next time (I try to explain, but when they've had no experience with what I'm talking about, it's lost on them).

[PRodent]

See the problem with that is that the most common user does not want to learn. They just want their computer to work. People like you and I are intrigued by the complexity of the computer and enjoy figuring out the vast array of problems that come with it.

[PRodent]

2nd half of my comment:

Others are not like that. We all have many different talents and skills. What I have found, as many will probabaly agree with, is that one of the most important skills a "geek/nerd" can have is the ability to communicate with the common user that knows enough to find the ON button, use the internet and use Microsoft Word.

[PlatonicKamel]

I agree; I'm like that with cars. I don't want to muck about with it, I just want it to work and let someone else fix it... but I don't have multiple cars that go wrong every other day; if I did I'd probably spend a bit of time learning a thing or two.

[artfungames]

nice top five.

[J4gg1T]

chris, how did u get to the position ur at today?

i wunna know how i get your job

[AccordionManiac]
