Our main concern here at JumpstartMyPC.com has always been helping PC users get the most out of their computer, but today, just 1 day before Halloween, we thought we might change our focus slightly.  Experts have predicted an outbreak in your area, but this is not the kind of virus that can be fought off with the likes of avast! or AVG anti-virus software.   No, this is much more serious.  See the video below for details.

I love this video and was just waiting for a chance to share it.  It is from a company called Common Craft, who has been making videos in this style (paper cutouts and thorough explanations) for some time.  I first found them several years ago when a friend recommended that I check into this new web site called Twitter (if only I knew then what I know now).  To this day, I don’t think anyone has done as good a job explaining Twitter and what it is for, how to use it, etc.

Explaining things in “plain English” is exactly what Common Craft does and they do it perfectly.  They have dozens of videos on a variety of subjects, but they seem to have a real focus on computers and technology.  Here are a few of the topics they have covered:

• Twitter
• World Wide Web
• Computer Software
• Blogs in Plain English

The list goes on and on.  These videos are all available on YouTube.com, where Common Craft has their own channel (or grouping of videos).  You can find that channel HERE.  I highly recommend their videos for any subject they have covered.  So, the next time you find yourself asking “what the heck is a blog?” or something along those lines, just jump over to the Common Craft channel and see if they have covered your question with a video.

In the mean time, have a safe and fun Halloween!  Check back on Monday for our next article or follow us on Facebook or Twitter to have the latest article sent to you in a link.  We promise not to post too much, so you won’t get bogged down with a bunch of junk you don’t need.  Typically, we only post 1-2 times a day.  And don’t forget, you can share this article with friends or family by simply clicking on the ShareThis button below.
