mechanics
In an unrelated incident I mentioned the other day, on Charlie's blog I think, that I do not need to understand the inner workings and mechanics of the car in order to drive it.
I put in the key, turn it and step on the pedal.
It works.
To the same token we don't need to understand the inner workings of the internet to know that it works.
It just does.
Not even Eric Schmidt understands it, as illustrated by this much quoted quote.
But if it's simply experiments in anarchy that's still good enough for me.
