It all seems to be a vast and mysterious black box.

Like I keep saying, I bet 95% of users want a mysterious black box -
one that’s easy to operate and doesn’t break much. I don’t accept
that wanting to know what goes on inside your computer or the pipes
of the interweb is at all analogous to wanting to understand how your
society works. My networked computer helps me understand how society
works, but that doesn’t mean I want to know what’s going on under
this keyboard.
