Four-year-old computer whiz

Four-year-old kid earns word processor certificate

A four-year-old Korean boy has become the youngest in Korea to acquire a word processing certificate, one of the nation's computer proficiency licenses.

Lee Jae-hyuk, who lives in Daejeon, passed an exam for the third-grade word processor certificate which was conducted by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in June.

The certificate is believed to be difficult even for adults to obtain because it requires an understanding of Chinese characters, English and computers.

Lee earned an eighth-degree Chinese character license just two months before he turned four. The test is designed for first-grade elementary school students.

Three months later, he upgraded it to a fifth-degree Chinese character license which measures proficiency in reading 500 and writing 300 Chinese characters, also becoming the youngest in the nation to achieve it.
