The cartoon gets one thing right: those four kids are physically together, but they're all alone looking at their screens.
Here's a story: I was on the train one day. The guy next to me was reading or watching something on his phone, and wasn't saying anything. At some point, he said "Eh, lol..." without looking up, without smiling or anything. Total zombie lol'ing at something on his phone: he just said it like he would have typed it. Creepy...

Funny that when I’m events it’s the Boomers who are glued to their phones typically.

I still refuse to say it when it's a desktop OS.

Interesting, application was there so long that it came naturally to me.

It was app replacing application and program than made me upset. I still don't like it, but it is catchy to say.

The kid on the right is... taking her blood pressure? "Totes time for an upgrade, my DBP is higher than my SBP, LOL!"

She's the geotag. People have to find the tag inside her.

This HAS to be a Chick tract.
If not, it's dead on for the tone deaf and out of touch the messaging is.

No they fuckng aren't. The people in this cartoon are literally holding conversations with each other.
I wish people wouldn't make comments like this just because they don't understand the different ways people can socialise

Come here gramps, it's time to get the evening pill.

People have always wanted to pretend they’re in a comfy private space, not a wooden/metal box of some sort with a bunch of others.

I talk to myself out loud all the time. It's not that weird.
WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 36d
I yell at others all the time when I'm by myself & nobody can hear me. Mostly while driving.
