ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

ICalendar

Okay, so imagine that you have a big calendar on your wall that you can look at to see all the important events coming up. iCalendar is kind of like that, but you can put it on your computer or phone instead.

It's a special kind of electronic calendar that can store all sorts of appointments, meetings, birthdays, and other events that you need to remember. It works with most popular digital calendars, like Google Calendar or Apple Calendar.

One cool thing about iCalendar is that it can share events with other people. So if your mom wants to know when your piano recital is, you can send her the iCalendar file and it will show up on her own electronic calendar.

iCalendar can also send you reminders when an event is coming up, so you don't forget. And if you need to change something on the schedule, you can update the iCalendar file and it will automatically update for everyone who is using it.

So basically, iCalendar is a way to keep all your important dates and times organized and easily accessible on your computer or phone.
