Speaking of superpowers, my family has long been aware that my brother and I do share a superpower. We both have the ability to break technology, just by being near it.
No, really. Computers get weird glitches when we use them, we can crash just about anything with circuits, and no one can figure out why. My brother once even caused a computer to burst into flames. Mostly, I just cause my phone to freeze up, the computer to crash, and the TV to do bizarre things. I once even managed to break the oven. The real problem is that I drive an all electronic car and am regularly getting stranded places because of some weird glitch. The service people, whom I speak to regularly, are often baffled. "We've never seen that error message before," they says, scratching their heads, unable to replicate my awesome powers.
Fortunately for me, my husband seems to be able to fix things just by laying his hands on them. So if my phone stops working, I hand it to him and it works just fine again. That's a huge plus in our marriage.
So, if you ever need a reason to replace something electronic, invite me over and have me stand near it for a while. I've got you covered.
Not much of a superpower, I grant you, but you'll be glad to have me and my brother around when the rise of the machines happens.
