Yes, but you know what a farm is. You know that animals reproduce, that their infants grow by eating vegetable matter. I can't write HTML either, but I know that it's text which describes the content and layout of a web page. I have younger relatives who don't know what a file is. They don't comprehend that a document and a picture and a video and an audio track are all same sort of thing interpreted in a different way.
- majormajor 4y agoMost people's (in the US's) mental image of a farm is probably way different from the likely-very-industrialized farms that are actually producing most of their food. Strikes me as fairly similar to the surface-level of understanding they have about "apps" and "operating systems" and "memory," actually.
- wngr 4y agoTo understand the difference between a manual and a highly industrialised process doesn’t matter here. It’s about the underlying principles that define how things work.
