So this comic strip is about a Man on December 31, 1999 at 11:59 pm using a computer, and a caveman in January 1 2000, 12:01 am trying to use technology. This political cartoon was really interesting because it represents so many things not just the y2k scare in the late 90s. It represents something that people are afraid of technology and afraid that they can get sucked in, and that is the fact that people cant live without technology that's how i see it, and the reason why is because it has become a natural extension of the human race. That's another reason why people don't like technology because its addicting, and in a way its true, but its not bad like drugs or alcohol, they are just afraid of change and getting out of the bubble in my opinion.
So this strip is about two things (I don't know if they are chickens or monsters) One looking at the other working nonstop in a computer. This also takes me back to the fear of computer science and working for companies like apple, Google, and Microsoft, and its about having a monotonous job description and just press a lot of numbers and letters and you make software. My response to this is that whoever makes these cartoon have me flabbergasted because CS is not a major at all you can make it fun, if you have a sociable personality you can make any environment fun!
