Assuming most of you have seen Wall-E, but the movie Idiocracy may be a stretch as it’s not as well known. Essentially, it’s a comedic future look at just how stupid we as a society become. Except… After seeing it.. It no longer seems like a comedy but like a legit depressing prediction of America in a half century.. Or maybe even, tomorrow.. in some areas.

This is really good. I think you’ve captured the times perfectly.

Gosh! My inability to afford modern tech has kept me the traditional dinosaur that I am. Still, looking at this, I think it’s a Blessing in disguise…

  it sorta is!
  But if you can train yourself to limit usage of the silly stuff……the GPS mapping, synced shared grocery lists, music/podcasts at your fingertips, and general access to internet has become a necessity for me anymore!

    I can understand that. Modern conveniences are also a Blessing in themselves.

While my wife pecks away on her gadgets texting and wording w/ friends… I simply train my carrier pigeons to send my messages in the wrong direction! They fly a route through the tribal smoke puffs, coming from the mountains on high, as the horse and buggy delivers the mail to the passing steam train heading east, from the village below!

Hmmm.. Are there real life equivalents to “Ow My Balls” and “Rehabilitation”?
- dgriff13
  
  sure! That show Wipeout is essentially “ow my balls” and monsters trucks are one step away from Rehabilitation.

Isn’t it ‘Wall-E’? Of course, I’m the only 30-something without a smart phone and therefore ‘not with it’, so sorry if there’s a reference I’m not getting.
- dgriff13
  
  Indeed you’re right! It is Wall-E.. Blast.. I’ll have to update it!

i know folks that are glued to their smart phones like this

  kinda sad… though I’m not without guilt at times.

I love the simplicity of the first and last panel Dawn.
