I don't need to know what a torque converter is, to drive a car with an automatic transmission.

You don't even need to know for driving stick, but secured transmission of data is pretty essential on open/public wifi which are in use by common people.

Although the 'secure' icons in browsers do have the other problem of telling people a site is 'secure' while it only means the data transmissions are encrypted, not that the site isn't a phishing site. Like knowing that the 'oil empty' sign doesn't mean you need more gasoline. Or something, I don't know, I can't and don't do cars ;p
