Doogie Houser may have been performing surgery at 14, the age the fictional sitcom character became the youngest licensed doctor in the country, but we bet he couldn't build a PC. But little Marko Calasan can, a real 8-year-old boy who has become the youngest Microsoft-certified IT computer system administrator. Calasan, who is being called the Mozart of Computers, edges out 9-year-old M Lavinashree of India as the youngest certified IT Pro.
"The Microsoft officials gave me computer games and DVDs with cartoons when I passed the exams because I am a child. That was nice, but I’m not really interested in those things," Calasan told The Times.
What young Marko is interested in is becoming a computer scientist when he grows up and has aspirations of creating a new operating system.
