Feedback - April 13-17_Blogging cartoon analysis

1. What are the main visual elements?
Some of the visual elements are a woman, a man, and a kid, all together probably a family, sitting at a table eating and the quote at the bottom of the cartoon, probably said by the father talking to his son.

2. What issue is this cartoon about?
I think that the cartoon is about technology and its flaws; the fact that there is no privacy.

3. What is the cartoonist’s opinion on this issue?
I think that the cartoonist's opinion on this issue is that although there are good points about technology, there also are some cliche and flaws in technology that people must know about. For example, if people start relying only on computers for security and information, there could be a chance of people hacking in to their information and accounts; one mistake could cause a life-time damage and ruin ones life.

4. What evidence in the cartoon supports your opinion on how the cartoonist feels?
One of the ways the cartoon supports my opinion and the cartoonist's thoughts is the sentence written at the bottom, which the father, looking stern and strict, is telling his son. It is written, "
Well, yes, we could read your blog...or you could just tell us about your school day.".

5. Why is this cartoon ironic?
I think that the cartoon is ironic that families don't get to "talk" about their day, and rather read each others blogs, even though they are closest to each other and live in a same house.

6. How does this cartoon relate to our study of technology and the future?
I think that the cartoonist is trying to show that "too much" of technology and relying on it can ruin social life as well as other problems. The cartoonist has expressed his feelings through the cartoon about the question, "how much should machines and technology do for us in our daily lives?".

7. What other techniques could the cartoonist have used to make this cartoon more persuasive?
To make the cartoon more persuasive, the cartoonist could have exaggerated the feeling of a family in a same room but using technology to talk and communicate with each other.
