I'm sorry, but people with little or no technical background have no idea what's an "object" in the context of computing. Non-starter unless you have eager students and/or you're a phenomenal instructor (which you might just be if your students come away with an idea of "objects" that are not chairs and tables and things).
- emptysongglass 2y agoThat's really a very silly nitpick. I am not directly communicating binary large objects as objects. The point is to communicate blobs in a way intelligible to your audience, to communicate the concept. You have to find your own way to communicate everything is blobs to your audience using language they're familiar with. Typically I'll say blobs then define blobs as whatever files they're modifying and saving.
