The Prompt

Explain how [TECHNOLOGY/CONCEPT] works.

Explain it in three layers:

Layer 1 — Simple (for someone non-technical):
Use an everyday analogy. No jargon. One paragraph.

Layer 2 — Intermediate (for someone with basic technical knowledge):
Explain the actual mechanism. What is happening under the hood? Key components and how they interact.

Layer 3 — Technical depth (for someone who wants to really understand it):
How does it actually work at a lower level? What are the interesting engineering trade-offs or design choices? What do most explanations gloss over?

Also include:
- The most common misconception about this technology
- A real-world example of it in action that most people use without realising
- Where to go to learn more if I want to go deeper
