Nah, I really don't think anyone is naturally computer savvy. Computers are literally the furthest thing from nature in existence. Some children are given the freedom and/or encouragement to explore computers, and some aren't. Giving a child an iPhone or an iPad as their first computer is the opposite of this, btw.
Edit: For the record, nobody I know who uses a terminal on a daily basis used it in class for the first time.
Yeah I think it's less to do with intrinsic talent than motivation and sense of reward from engaging with technical problems.
