A chair - I believe you have at least one at home. There are dozens of chair designs, and some of them will make you unsure if it is actually one. But once you know that this is a chair, regardless of whether you have had any experience with this particular chair, you know what to do with it. You will be looking for a way to sit on it. Because you know that the main purpose or "why" of the chair is to hold your butt so you can work or enjoy your time. Why should not it be the same with technologies in Software Development?
Have you ever used a revolving door? The door rotates around a vertical axis within a cylindrical enclosure and usually is at the entrance to modern office buildings. Imagine that this door was rotating automatically during the day with different frequencies. Sometimes it is slow enough that people can enter, sometimes faster and only the bravest trying to enter. And sometimes it spins really fast that even the bravest step back. Did you know that our brain behaves the same way as this door with the difference that the people are the knowledge we trying to acquire during learning?
