Actress Scarlett Johansson says her technological capabilities are far from good.
The "Avengers: Age of Ultron" actress said she is convinced she has a negative effect on digital items because they never seem to work for her, reported Female First.
When asked how tech savvy she is, the actress said, "I'm a dimwit. I have no capability with it at all. In fact, I think I'm one of those people who have some kind of negative ion thing going on where every single thing they touch frazzles, breaks and has no function."
The 30-year-old star does not understand the fascination with social media because she would rather "connect" with the people in her life.
"I'm just not interested (in social media). I want to connect with people that I know, not people I don't know.
"I go to a restaurant and see families and all the children are checking their smartphones, so they're involved with their friends somewhere out there but totally disconnected from what's happening around them. That just seems weird to me.
