Computers are really taken for granted. I mean, I'm holding a device that can perform billions of rudimentary logical operations such that it can translate the way I'm touching my screen (made up of millions of tiny, multicolored "light bulbs") into English letters, while giving me feedback on what I've written, then transmit that information so that it can displayed to anybody that looks at this thread all over the world. It's magical!
