Is "geek-ness" hereditary?

I'm a proud new father (as of a few weeks ago) and this got me wondering...will my new daughter inherit the geek side?!
Will she want to start dismantling the PC as soon as she can reach it and handle the screwdriver?
Will she start evaluating new browsers as soon as they hit the Alpha phase? (Beta's are for wimps ;))

And if so...is it really a bad thing? (Well I guess I'd rather she didn't screw up the PC).
Given the technological era we seem to be living in, I imagine that by the age of 2 she'll understand what a PC is and why we use it. She'll also probably wonder why the PC has a mouse and keyboard when it seems so much easier to touch it (a la iPad/iPhone etc.)
I also imagine she'll have whooped my Angry Birds scores by her third birthday....but she'll never beat me at Fifa on the PS3!
