The World Before the Internet [COMIC] - What do you think?


The World Before the Internet [COMIC]
I wanted to share this Comic with the class. I thought this was funny yet scary at the same time. The sentence "The World Before the Internet" does sound so far away but the Comic portrays the world as boring place and I disagree. I find that people used to spend a lot of time coming up with original ideas and we have so many great thinkers like Einstein to prove it. Now with the Internet we are still developing and sharing great ideas but I wonder if we are sharing more than we are developing. What do you think?

I saw this too! It is sometimes disappointing to think that even things like families watching "America's Funniest Home Videos" together have been replaced by kids watching an endless stream of Youtube Videos.
The irony of the comic is that if the comic were realistic, the father would just be sending his kids a funny text about what life was like before the internet, not reading them a - wait for it - book.
