There is space for creativity in explaining complex computer technologies with real-world analogies. This, besides a good explanation to the wannabe technology adopter, can serve as a communication vehicle to the whole multidisciplinary teams.

Think

talking about a pizza delivery
instead of event driven web
servers.
talking about cars and
lanes instead of sever load.

The "complex" ideas are not so complex anymore, are they ?

People understand real world/social situations much better then abstract ones as explained in (Michael A. Nielsen Extreme Thinking (sorry can't post more than 2 links)) analogy with social situation and a card game.

This I also see as a challenge for creative writing.

I still haven't found any good real-world analogy for web technologies, ex. how to describe to a kid how does a whole process of auth/synchronous/asynchronous/ajax/http/cookie requests form a complete working web page/service. Heck, I would even use this in communication with my fellow team.

But then again, you are asking about jobs.
