Picture Reflection.

The main visual elements in this picture is the little kid eating dinner with his parents, and the caption at the bottom "Well, yes, we could read your blog...or you could just tell us about your day." I think the issue is that since the kid returned home from school and his parents were asking how his day was, he just told them to read his blog of what he did, instead of telling them there face to face. I think his opinion is that most kids nowadays are caught up in technology that its become a bigger part of their life, and so they rely on in more. Like, in this picture, the kid isn't in the mood to talk to his parents about his day, and he just tells them to look it up, like hes too lazy to tell them. Some evidence the cartoonist shows is the little kid isn't smiling, so it doesn't look like hes too interested in telling his parents about his day. I know when most parents ask kids about how their day was, we're not too interested in telling them. This is ironic because now, as we're talking about a little kids having a blog and criticizing, we're all 'blogging' right now.

This cartoon relates to our study of technology because it in Vonnegut's writing he stated that technology would take us over, and in the cartoon its starting with a little kid, who's already got his own blog. I think the cartoon is good enough, because its nice, simple and believable, and the fact that he uses a little kid makes it more effective.
