Technology arranges complex logic in a black box with an On/Off switch. If we want what it does, we switch it on, without needing to endure the life experience to understand why it works before being enabled to use it. These days, you don't need the life experience of a celestial navigator before you use a GPS receiver to absolutely locate your position.
