"In Plain English"

It's definitely hard for some people to understand a lot of these web concepts. I came across this series of videos on youtube that would take a concept and explain it "in plain english". I thought it was pretty interesting since it covers a lot of concepts that we are studying. Some of these concepts are: World Wide Web, Twitter, Social Media, Podcasting, Online photo sharing, Social Networking, RSS, and Blogs.
After doing a little more research, I learned that the videos are done by a company called Common Craft. Common Craft basically sells these "in plain english" videos that are designed for training and education. Check out their video on Blogs...

  1. Wow, I think this is a good idea for people who haven't grown up in the so called "internet generation". But even I (who's in computer science) can't saying I know all of the basic computer and internet lingo...
