For most people, myself included, both money and technology sit in the mental category of “functional magic.”

The details of how these things work are a little hazy, although we’re damn glad they do, despite the inkling that they’ve snared us  in some nefarious spell. We’re vociferous about their failings, but we hesitate to dabble in the dark arts ourselves. We might have to sell our soul to the devil. We might have to do maths.
