Genius. Really. Especially when you're talking to someone and they don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about. I use analogies all the time to explain tech. Sideways makes sure I use don't use the wrong analogy so I don't confuse things further.

It's a Google's Jigsaw incubator and WaPo initiative, with user contribution in place. Pretty neat. The backstory here https://www.engadget.com/2017/03...
Nice product. Thanks!
It great service even for self education. If you can explain complicated term in simple words that's the only evidence you truly understand that term.
Also it was Richard Feynman's main approach to education/understanding, to explain complex situation in simple analogies :)

This deserves more upvotes - in my experience in managing multiple teams - not understanding certain technological/business jargon results in miscommunication many times. That being said, there should be a way to see the actual definition(s) vs the analogies. Otherwise, one is reinforcing the mental comitance of only the analogy rather than tying both together. I'm all for education related platforms, this one has my votes :) We need to get the maker here!
