Things can work whether humans understand the details or not. One can build layers of technology on top of each other, with no human understanding required.

Looks like you have some reading to do. Let me start with two:

    - The Machine Stops
    - Pump Six
These are short stories. If you want to get into more stuff, you can go through Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons.

For anyone wondering, yes, a good Sci-Fi novel(la) is also a great philosophical piece. It's not only robots vs. humans, all the time.
