Screen vs Page vs Card

[Thomas McGrath III]

This is so not true. Libraries use cards, Teachers use cards, People 
play cards even Suddam was on a card. The notion of a card being 
obvious is hardly elitism. The person you are explaining this to would 
have to have never been to school or the library or even watch TV (the 
Tele) in order to not understand what a card is. Also, cards are easily 
explained in relation to visual elements changing/flipping/shuffling 
etc.

Remember this is the same audience that uses computers and needs to 
understand windows/folders/desktops/files and 
downloading/uploading/saving etc. The card metaphor is by far the 
easiest to explain.

Now Director is a good example of elitism. You would have to have been 
to a play or the theater AND know how one is put together with a Cast, 
Score and Stage.

Traditional programming is even harder to explain.
