They were faking it. When I was 12, I was pretty smart with tech, but I was not allowed to touch my grandpa's projector. (It's because if you didn't turn it off properly, the bulb would burn out).

He also did some work with ibm back in the 80s, and he didn't really like kids, so that might have something to do with it.
