Well, not quite the response I was looking for. Let me see if I can clarify. When I think of a prodigy, I think more along the lines of what Bardan said, it is an in born thing, you can't "learn" or be "taught" to be a prodigy. You either are are you aren't. Being really really smart or really really talented is not, IMO, the same as being a prodigy.

But for the purposes of this thread, I was thinking more about the strictly "creative" arts. I know that there are mathematical prodigies. Personally, I don't see how one could be a computer prodigy in the strictest sense of the word. Knowledge of computers is something I feel is learned and acquired.

It may be a fine distinction, but I can fee it. Or maybe I am totally off base here.
