Oh, look! It’s an Olympics themed comic.
Posted during the London Olympics 2012.
What a coincidence, hey?

The iVolution of man
Evolution has been thwarted by technology once again it seems.
Next time you are walking around your city or town, take a good look around.
Humans evolved to walk upright, but now we walk looking down …at our smartphones.
Perhaps we will become hunched over, shambling creatures again at some point in the future?
Who knows for sure, but I bet I can find an app that will tell me.
Begging for it
I think you can guess how I feel about Kickstarter from this comic?
Sure, it allows some really cool, inventive items to receive funding to be created. But is also allows really useless ideas to get money too, just because they get friends or celebrities to spruik it. This then makes it a popularity contest, not a fundraiser.
Often, things will get funding far above their worth and creates a “false economy” for items of a similar type that try to follow those successes (which personally frustrates the heck out of me).
General Errors
I think the greatest electronic achievement that mankind will ever have, will be to create computer error messages that actually make sense to the average person.
Most times, the message you get on screen is just a baffling as the reason why it is there in the first place.
Oh sure, I could go online and look up a list of common computer errors, but that still won’t help usually.
What we really need is an easy to read, detailed message that we can pass onto out tech support people. A message that truly outlines what may be going wrong and how long it might take to fix.
If this occurs, people just might start to understand their computers better and get more comfortable with them.
Of course, that can never happen, lest our tech support “geeks” lose their mystique and perceived value. We need to continue thinking that errors are all dangerous warnings that must be heeded unless we want our laptops to delete their own hard drives.
We must never know that in most cases a simple “turn it off then back on” procedure is what is needed to fix the problem.
No. We must never know.
