Explaining the Complex Simply

As an educator, I have admired people who are able to explain complex concepts in simple, easy-to-understand ways. I still remember my freshman year at Caltech in my Feynman Physics class, trying to learning some pretty complex stuff. The cliche around Caltech was "It is intuitively obvious to the most casual observer" and then you unloaded with a pile of ugly stuff. Richard Feynman was different. With a heavy dose of curiosity, he did make that ugly stuff intuitively obvious.

I ran across another great example of explaining the complex simply. Take a look at this 3-minute video on Social Media. It is about making ice cream in a small town. However, it explains a board range of Web 2.0 dynamics at the same time. Enjoy!
