Whoa! It's hard to know where to start with this. :-)
How do you think your 2400 baud modem worked with other modems? Modem
standards.
How are you able to communicate to us through this newsgroup? NNTP
standards.
How are you able to connect to the internet at all? TCP/IP standards.
How are you able to watch TV? Television broadcasting standards.
How are you able to use a phone and call anyone in the world? Telephone
standards.
Yeah! All those fancy standards designed by some stuffy Ph.D.'s really makes
all our lives one huge pain, huh!
