If anything I've learned that the fastest way to discover just unboundedly large amounts of magic is to try to kill that of it which you know.<p>Fields don't die---they deepen fractal-like.
The downside of attempting to kill all the magic in the world is that, should you ever succeed, you will be so bored you will want to die. I was never so happy as I was as a child, when everything was fresh and new. I try keep a little bit of magic unknown still. Fortunately that's pretty easy to do in today's world.
If understanding computers kills the magic then someone has completely missed the point. Computers are a tool to be used,not a mystery to be solved,and there is plenty of magic using them to explore to build and to solve actual mysteries.<p>If you understand a hammer and chisel fully it does not make you Michelangelo.
