Mini Geeks In The Making?

In a world that appears to be getting more reliant on technology by the day, the exposure of children to this technology is inevitable. However, what amazes me is their inherent ability to pick up this new technology and master it without issues.

Recently I was at a friend's house and my wife had taken her compact camera with her to take a few pictures of their three children (2 months, 20 months & 3 years old). The 3 year old enjoyed the photos being taken and (like all young inquisitive minds) wanted the camera to take the pictures by herself.
My wife showed her how to zoom in/out and how to switch over to playback mode - once and only once. She immediately picked up the camera switched to record mode and zoomed in on her younger siblings and started clicking the button. Then switching back to view the picture before deciding she wanted to take another.

I don't know a large number of 3 year olds - but this seemed remarkable to me. That she was able to pick up this amazingly small piece of technology (which would have been considered ultra-advanced merely 15 years ago) and use it with such ease.
I've also been told that she's quite good on the PC (using the mouse and identifying where to click on the Cbeebies website etc.).

With all this technology surrounding us it's inevitable that the younger generation(s) will become increasingly more techo-versed (I know it's not a word but it sounds right) than their parent's generation, but does this mean we're going to see lots of mini-geeks in the making? Or will 'geekdom' become the norm?? (Damn - that makes me cringe!)
