I think that's where you're reaching the wrong conclusion - I'm not not naturally mechanically inclined.
I like fiddling with things, I just don't presently know how (and am a little apprehensive when it comes to fiddling with large heavy fast moving things).

And when I'm in the middle of nowhere at midnight with a broken mobile... how do you propose getting in touch with the RAC and letting them know where I am? :/
I'd rather make use of the things that make me human and be the one that knows what they're doing.
