Tech Wizardry: At Last My Genes Don’t Matter

From my dad I inherited the ability to not understand mechanical things, so I can’t figure out how to get machines—and tools—to work.

From my mom I inherited the talent to sew a button on a shirt while sewing the shirt to my pants.

Mystification. Clumsiness. And left handed to boot!

Then I got an iPhone 4s.

And it didn’t matter.
