This will not be on the exam.

During the process of authoring, photographing, and recording our CompTIA A+ certification videos, my home-office tends to be visited by most of my family. My seven year-old son has taken a keen interest in the pieces of technology thrown about the room, and he’s become quite adept at building and dismantling motherboard components.

Here’s a picture of some of the inspiration I keep around the office:

The LCI network interface adapter connection can be seen here:

Do you think he’s ready for the certification test?
