How old was your child when they learned to do basic computer skills?

My almost- 4 year old son knows how to download free games to both my iPhone and lap top lmao! He hasn't figured out how to play them all, but he does play some. I've been letting him tinker with my phones and laptops since he was about 18 months, never showed him how to do any of it but am sure he must have watched what I was doing and just learned just from observation. Wow...kids are way smarter than I gave credit for

About the same my 4-5 year old was booting an old legend from a floppy and playing DOS based games using written basic commands from memory it seemed to be driven by the desire to play the games right?

I remember a 3 year old wanting to use my computer while his mother was doing some work for me. I don't know how much he picked up sitting on her knee while she worked, but he was ready. It was an early Macintosh and I didn't have any games on it except solitaire.

Mine was 3 and he picked up a DS and just started to play and now at 11 he can do just about anything I still look over his shoulder so he don't get scammed and put passwords on my accounts so he can't spend any money and it works
