1. I use my phone daily. I assume every time I access a website and put in my username/password, I am sending out HTPP post requests to the server and it is sending me information back to be decoded by my phone. 2. It made me realize just how complicated everything is. All of these features that we take as commonplace had to be tediously tested and created by people before we want use them the way we do now.
