Imagine you're having an assignment for school with many exercises, where each exercise is dependent on the previous ones. So, if you haven't studied the material well and mess up an exercise it's highly possible that you'll mess up the next ones.

Now imagine that you have a machine that each time you complete an assignment, it checks and verifies that this exercise is correct, so that you can proceed to the next ones without being afraid that you've done a mistake in the previous ones. Welcome to Continuous Integration.
