Sideways Dictionary — it’s like a dictionary, but using analogies instead of definitions. Use it as a tool for finding and sharing helpful analogies to explain technological ideas. Because if everyone understands technology better, we can make technology work better for everyone.
Features:
• Visual cues will indicate when a technology term existing in the Sideways Dictionary has been detected within the text on a web page.
