Feedback March 24-28

The main visual elements are the mother, father, and son. This cartoon is about how technology is supposed to speed up a lot of things. In the case that the cartoon is illustrating though, using technology (aka. a computer) would slow things down. It would be faster for the kid to tell his parents about school instead of booting up a computer and showing them his blog. The cartoonist thinks that technology is bad in some cases, and prevents human interaction. "Tell" is underlined, putting emphasis on the word. This shows that the cartoonist feels that it would be better if the kid told his parents about his school day instead of looking at the blog. This cartoon is ironic because right now I am typing on a blog, and this post will probably never be read. To make this cartoon more effective, the cartoonist could have drawn a closed laptop on the table.
