$\begingroup$ So smartphones are magic to 90+% of the world's smartphone users? For some definitions of magic that may even be true. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Okay, gets into our definition of "magic". If by magic you mean "anything I don't understand", then sure, cell phones are magic to well over 90% of the world's population. I'm a software developer and all around smart guy and I have only a vague idea of how cell phones work. How many people could build a cell phone from scratch without an instruction book? I couldn't. But that's a very loose use of the word "magic". I was thinking more of "supernatural", as in, "must be powered by ghosts or demons". $\endgroup$
