HowStuffWorks is a website created by Marshall Brain but now owned by the Convex Group. It is dedicated to explaining the way many things work. The website in its early days focused mostly on science and machines, ranging from submarines to common household gadgets and appliances. Content since then has expanded to a larger array of topics, ranging from “How Black Holes Work†to “How Verbal Self-Defense Works†to even “How St. Patrick’s Day Works.†The site has an article dedicated to “How Wikis Work†and one dedicated to explaining “How the HowStuffWorks Book Worksâ€. The site uses photos, diagrams, video and animation to explain even complex terminology and mechanisms in lucid terms. New content is added daily.
