If you could have seen the degree of specialization on military weapons systems, aircraft, avionics, and their associated subsystems, (the subsystems have their OWN set of specialists), you would KNOW that what Aurora says is correct.
There are specialists on Defensive radars, on Targeting radars, and on Terrain following radars, just to name three. The TFR has it's own set of specialists for the radar, and another set of specialists for the systems that "slave" the three axis control system into the radar "picture". THEN there is a set of specialists that deal with the electrical systems that ACTUATE the control circuits when told to do something by the "slaving" system that is reacting to the 3D "picture" that the "slaving" program receives from the TFR. and there are three OTHER systems that are also brought into play, just for the aircraft to fly 20 feet above the ground, avoiding both the terrain, and structures , at 600 miles an hour.
YES, things have gotten very VERY specialized. NO ONE sits back with ultra high tech equipment and views the entire system without being so superficial, that all they can do is to keep track of broad system failures, to give the specialists an idea where to look in the area of their expertise.

That's high security military equipment. Compartmentalization to protect state secrets.
There are plenty of people who understand "how technology works". Aura likes to go on an on about how terrible technology is, and this "nobody even understand how it works anymore!" argument is just one more layer of bull****.
There are people who can build/program computers from base materials, it just takes time and energy. (
This guy built and programmed an entire computer system in minecraft) Aura, just because you don't have the willpower to understand things in detail, please don't project that innability on the rest of us.
