Life is all about killing the magic

Micael Widell, on his personal blog:

When I was a kid, the most magical things out there were computers. Over the years I killed that magic by learning everything about them. From the circuit board to the software that runs on the operating system. Today there is nothing magical or intriguing with computers to me.

Overall I like the sentiment here. But maybe the reason there’s nothing magical about computers for Mr. Widell is that he’s the CTO of a Swedish bargain-hunting website.
