Or at least you won't in the future—DUN DUN DUNNNNN! By then, technology will make up for our humanoid shortcomings. Can't play the piano? No problem; a glove will force your fingers to play that passage you can't seem nail. Not handy with a pen? That's an easy fix thanks to a robotically controlled accessory that will guide your hand to sketch a perfect circle.

This is hyperbole, but only slightly, as a new project from designer/engineer Saurabh Datta proves. For his thesis project at Copenhagen's Institute of Interaction Design, Datta created a series of devices that teach people simple tasks like tapping a piano key or drawing basic shapes by using forced haptic feedback. In other words, you don't control Datta's machines, they control you.

Datta, a civil engineer by trade, began the project as a way to investigate how he could learn to play the piano with the help of a machine.
