Explain Twitter (and other things) to your grandmother

They say is you can figure out a way to explain something to your grandmother, you've found out the essence of the the topic and have boiled it down (or dumbed it down) in such a way that anyone could understand it. The folks at Common Craft have struck upon a technique that does this beautifully. Using paper cut-outs and smart writing they tell the story of everything from Twitter to how the president of the US is elected to Zombies. Basically they make complex ideas easy to understand using short and simple videos

Here's some of my favs:

Twitter:


US Election:


Social Media


Zombies
