Craftsmanship is the techno-developmental link between technology and humans. <br /><br />"Understanding" as you use the word means knowing the practice of your trade/profession. <br /><br />But your work takes most of what you use as a given.

The biggest blockage in facing that we are not "taken care of" by anyone nor anything is that it is frightening to accept that technology or institutions or corporate or governments do not exist to parent, can not parent and will not parent.
