Research has proven that we learn much better when shown visual images, than any other form of learning. We can catch and understand, in a single glance, much more than if we read a description. In other words, it is much easier to understand complicated mechanisms like the ones we are about to show you, if we show you how they work visually. So without further a-do, here are some complicated mechanisms you may have always wondered about, in simple animation form! |
