Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Nine-year-old child genius to graduate
university
A child prodigy is a person with extraordinary
talent that can produce meaningful output in some area to the level of an expert.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who composed his first pieces of music when he was five,
is known as a child prodigy. And there are a number of musicians who exhibit extraordinary
talent in playing musical instruments and win awards in competitions.
Now, here is a nine-year-old boy in Belgium
who is about to earn a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering at Eindhoven
University of Technology, a prominent research university specializing in
engineering science and technology in the Netherlands. He is now planning to
work on a PhD program in electrical engineering while also studying medicine to create
artificial organs in the future.
While such gifted children tend to have
difficulty in interpersonal relationships with others, his teachers say he is
sympathetic. Also, he seems quite normal in terms of enjoying childish pleasures,
such as playing with his smartphone and pet dog.
Will he accelerate, prolong, or prevent the
occurrence of the singularity?
Enjoy reading the article and learn about this
gifted child.
