howstuffworks

Have you wondered just how that cell phone you are using everyday really works? Or how the ice in an ice rink gets cold? And how it stays that way? Are you a naturally inquisitive person? If so, then today’s Family First Site will be of special interest to you.

Called howstuffworks, this site tries to explain how some of the more common items in our everyday world function. Some of the subject areas include automotive, electrical, music, health and nutrition; the list goes on and on. Each area is further subdivided, such as music, which features such diverse areas as MP3 and how guitars work. There are Top 10 areas for the most requested articles, and most asked questions (yes, you can ask questions here as well). There is also an excellent search engine, and a free online newsletter that can be emailed to you. There is currently a feature article on how the new Microsoft operating system code-named Longhorn will work.
So if you have ever wondered how a helicopter flies, or how to set the time on your VCR, this is the site for you. Be sure to bookmark it, as it will be a great one to come back to again and again.
