Wikis in Plain English

Common Craft is a Seattle company made of 2 youngsters that have spread some very clever videos explaining things in "plain English". Their simple and fun hand-drawn storyboards are a great example of how social and non-commercial information production can play a crucial role in closing the culture gap.

Now, everyone can produce things like that at the cost of their own time and no more than modern living essential house hold necessities like a computer and an internet connection.

Long gone the times when only a small elite could broadcast their ideas. Kudos to the internet and to passionate people that volunteer their time to open other people's minds.
