    As long as you're still doing stuff your age recquires (and allows) you to do, I just can't see a problem with it. You'll be probably smarter than your friends ^.~

    well it doesn't use electromagnetism, relativity, or quantum mechanics, so relatively speaking (forgive the pun) it is simple physics.
