Default How do you feel about technology that u don't understand?

There are a lot of wonders of technology and I was wondering how do you feel being surrounded by all those things that you actually don't understand how they work... Have you ever wondered what happens when you answer your mobile phone, when you turn on your computer... and many more things...
Personally I am slightly lost, I don't know, its just strange feeling, there is a handful of people creating all those wonders, they understand them, and on the other side there are millions of passive users... well, as I mentioned above I am lost... What are your opinions about it?

Personally, since I work in tech, understanding something new or innovative isn't that big of a task for me (literature, books, papers)...

Not understanding technology is something that can easily be remedied; it simply requires you to have an interest in tech and a desire to read up on it. Loads and loads of literature out there, the majority of it is free.

I love technology, but I do believe what we do with technology can be done with the organic faculties we already possess - notably - the brain/mind. While many people think that is *exactly* what we are doing by creating technology, some think it is a substitute for what can be done through focus (levitation, instant teleportation, telekinesis, materialist manifestation, etc...).

No need to feel lost, there is certainly a large amount of information out there, but, nothing that can't be absorbed with time.

I am euphoric over technology that is new and there isn't any that I can't or don't understand. People don't care to try to understand mostly. It's not really that they can't.
