"Show, don't tell" has become the literary commandment for any writer. It applies to all forms of fiction, and to non-fiction, including scientific writing, where it lies at the heart of many scientific communication and storytelling approaches. In this paper, I discuss how "show \emph{and} tell" is actually often the best approach when one wants to present, teach or explain complicated ideas such as those underlying notions and results in mathematics and science, and in particular in cybersecurity. I discuss how different kinds of artworks can be used to explain cybersecurity and I illustrate how telling (i.e., explaining notions in a formal, technical way) can be paired with showing through visual storytelling or other forms of storytelling. I also discuss four categories of artworks and the explanations they help provide.
翻译:“ show, don't tell” 已经成为任何作家的文学戒律。 它适用于所有形式的小说和非小说,包括科学写作,它位于许多科学交流和讲故事方法的核心。 在本文中,我讨论了“ show emph{and} dalk” 如何在人们想要展示、教授或解释数学和科学,特别是网络安全的基本概念和结果等复杂想法时,实际上往往是最好的方法。 我讨论了如何使用不同种类的艺术作品来解释网络安全,我说明了如何通过视觉故事或其他形式讲故事的方式来结合讲故事(例如,以正式的技术方式解释概念 ) 。 我还讨论了四种艺术作品及其帮助的解释。
