Marko Calasan, from Skopje, the capital of Macedonia, has become the world's youngest certified computer system administrator.
"I'd like to be a computer scientist when I grow up and create a new operational system," he said.
Marko, whose favourite subject at school is mathematics, learnt to read and write at the age of two, which was when his interest in computers began.
The news of his achievement has turned him into a celebrity in Macedonia.
His mother Radica, 37, said that her son displayed "exceptional learning abilities at a very early age" and that she and her husband, who run a computer school, call on Marko to help solve technical problems when they crop up.
"He is obviously extraordinary gifted, but children above the age of six could learn much more about computers than generally assumed," she said.
Marko is also fascinated by physics and astronomy and struggled to sleep the night before the launch of the Big Bang experiment at the underground facility of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research in Switzerland.
Marko said: "The media said it could cause the end of the world, but there was never any danger of that."
============================
A great achievement or anyone gifted youngster who will fail for lack of social skills like Ruth Lawrence?
I go for the latter.....
