Line 10:
This fallacy is often reinforced by [[Mr. Fixit]], who generally can adapt any piece of technology he gets his hands on to do whatever the plot calls for -- especially if he's a [[Technopath]].
Compare [[Instant Expert]]. Contrast [[Cargo Cult]], [[Clarke's Third Law]], [[Scavenger World]] (where people forgot how to make a lot of things [[After the End]]), [[How Do I Shot Web]] (the inverse of this trope with superpowers), [[You Shouldn't Know This Already]] (which stops gamers from using something they have before they learn how in-game), [[Low Culture, High Tech]] (where the this is not the case for a low tech culture using high tech gadgets), [[Black Box]] and [[Loyal Phlebotinum]].
Has nothing to do with [[Demonic Possession]] (although one might wonder how easy it is for demons to work out how to use their hosts' bodies...)
