Are Computers Magic?

If you want to find out just how little you know about what really goes on with computers, try this page, http://geeks.pirillo.com/profile/TheOtherHawk  .  Otherwise, like me you can continue to consider the actual workings of computers as covered by this quotation. "Any technology, sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from magic."  

   If one considers Magic to be the secret method used by the initiated to manipulate reality and the world in general, computers are very much magic, to those of us who are not fully cognizant of the inner workings.  I doubt seriously if anyone knows very much about all the facets of the IT world, there is simply too much information for one person to learn.  Hardware, programming languages, Protocols, Network structure, Various attempts to make the internet and Networks in general, secure, and many other things, from data storage to database management, and all the programs that reside in cyberspace.  Image creation and modification, documents and presentations, videos, sound, and a host of other applications are all mysterious in their own way.  Who can say what things arise when even a single bit error will change an entire document or picture? Program fragments become viruses and Malware goes astray.  One could almost say that there are evil beings in cyberspace which conspire to destroy the virtual world.  It is like a novel of fiction or the very old movie "Tron". because we all have an idea what is going on, but few of us really know.
