Somehow I don't think that HiperSockets will be as
exciting to them as they were to me when I first heard about them.

Kids are excited by big words like "hipersockets".

How do you explain such a technical occupation to young
children?  What props or visual aids would you use to illustrate work
that mostly goes on inside either our brains or our computers?  

What works with my 8-year old son is tying together the computing
ideas that make his Playstation II play his video games.  It also 
helped me my showing him things on the PC, as he loves playing
games on websites such as cartoonetwork.com

I dont think trying to explain mainframe stuff would work.
