Things you don't understand

Could you make a list? A list of things that you probably could understand if you put your mind to it, but don't.

Things like:

How the Federal Reserve works
Why things from China are so inexpensive
How Google Analytics works
Why kids like using FaceBook
How the guys in the factory make the widgets you sell
Six ways to make your web browser work better
How to make a great spaghetti sauce
Editing a wikipedia entry
Selling stuff on eBay

Has there ever been a better time to learn what you don't know? It's faster, easier and cheaper now than ever before (and, of course, there's way more stuff now that we don't understand). If I don't learn it now, when will I?
