It goes to show a species does not uniformly advance. Why I bought District 9's premise of the worker drones having no clue how their own ships work. If you stripped away the structures of society about 97% of us would die within a few years. People love the comfort modernity and science has given them, but most still have no clue how much or any of it works.

I game for the larger part of my live. Yet I know what CPU, GPU and what the Motherboard do. I don't have a single clue hoe it works other than and I quote captain america for this one "It seems to run some sort of electricity" and sends positive and negative signals to a transistor which counts it and a code with 0's and 1's made which somehow makes me able to play games. I have no idea how to build computerparts or what the structural difference is between a CPU and a GPU.
