I have no idea where or why he learned to be able to do half the stuff he can, but I feel as though theres probably a mystical place that you're supposed to be sent away to in your early teens, and when you come back you have the ability to move plug sockets around the place.
I feel the exact same way, I think its a generational thing. For a lot of people today who are below 40 they would have spent most of their childhood playing video games, sat on PC's etc. Whereas in the 50s-80s they would play with toys that would encourage and build on more practical skills.

In 50 years we are all gonna be able to beat each other at angry birds but have no idea how to change a light bulb
