Have you ever wondered how smart phones work? Oh! Wait, how about how the earth’s surface move? Oh! Wait, how exactly do rockets work? Well that last one is literally rocket science!

If you want to know all these things, you can search the library, your little devices, or computers to find answers. However, I bet you wouldn’t understand everything said though, unless you read more on those things you didn’t understand and in that process you get more things you don’t understand. It can seem very tedious and feel as if you are in a learning loop. Fear no more though, some clever person has been kind enough to help out with this headache.

Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff is a book written by Randall Munroe with one thing in mind – Simplify complicated “stuff”. Quite literally, rocket science amongst other everyday topics is explained with very common words so that anyone can pick up the book and understand how things work in our bizarre and interesting world.

Computer Potato prides in simplifying and relating computer and technological advancement to its audience, hence why we give kudos to Mr Munroe for helping us layman understand “complicated stuff”.
