He doesn't strike me as your average kid.
For one thing, he can afford to buy an IPOD and trash it playing with it. He didn't trash it, but he easily could have...but apparenlty has the cash to take the risk. Most kids don't have the cash.
Secondly, all that electronics and programing skill is not common. Kids are good playing video games, moving modern versions of joy sticks around with mind numbing speed but that doesn't teach them programing and electronics.
I think that kid is a bit rare. You noticed he wants to be some sort of brain sugeon. Work out the "programming" in the human mind. That's also not your averge kid.
In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply.

Thank goodness that I don't have to use a VCR anymore.
I never could get that 12 to quit blinking.

I think I heard a story about Steve Jobs being a hacker in college where he built boxes which would allow students to make free long distance calls.

From:
Biography of Steve Jobs
It was also in 1974 that Steve Jobs again with Steve Wozniak at his side embarked on a business venture that was somewhat unethical, to put it mildly. The two had heard about phone phreakers (people who used the telephone networks illegally to make long-distance calls and to collect personal information among other things) who in the 1960s used a modified toy whistle to make illegal long-distance calls. These phreakers discovered that the toy whistle, which came included in the box of a popular breakfast cereal, could reproduce the tone used by the AT&T Long Distance Telephone Company to allow supervisors to access their networks. This trick was popularized by John Draper and after meeting with him in 1974, Jobs and Wozniak set out to establish a company that sold what came to be known as “blue boxes” to allow users to make free, unlimited long distance calls.
What goes around comes around.

If anyone thinks that will hurt the sale of the iPhone, you better rethink.
In fact, maybe the kid had some help ......................
