Blackbox
tags:: #programming #blackbox #algorithms projects::@coopersmithFaxedRiseFall2015
Blackboxing is the concept of being able to use a certain technology without understanding how it's inner workings function. This is something that I use very often in my programming projects, where designing functions with blackboxing in mind is very important. As a programmer, we want other programmers to be able to use our function with only the knowledge of what it does, and not how it actually works.

“Blackboxing vastly expanded not only the audience of consumers, creating growing network externalities, but also enabled entrepreneurs and experimenters to develop their own faxing applications.” (Coopersmith, 2015, p. 20)
