Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for September 13, 2024

We all like shiny objects and if we can’t get them, we go with glowing objects.

And their favorite comic is “B.C.”, which is a bit ironic.

Those older folks just haven’t seen the light yet (thankfully).

Smoke and fire have been used to send messages for a very long time. It works, but there are drawbacks:

Slow. Very Slow. Unless you have pre-recorded some phrases you will have spell out every word. And don’t get me started on graphics!

No ad blocker

No VPN or privacy of any kind. You’re parents can see what you’re browsing.

Ditto for any mail and messaging.

Also, recharging isn’t keeping up with technology. You might say it’s…. prehistoric…

Probably one of those early Apple tree devices.

Gggrrrooan!

The more things change the more they stay the same!

“Me told you not go those bad places!”

“Me not go there!”

“Then why you fingers burning?”

I can almost hear them raising their torchs and yelling “Free Bird!” (Or would they yell “Free Archaeopteryx! Free Archaeopteryx!”)

Remember the days when the fire was attached to the floor.

Beavis and Butthead.

But they’ve discovered new technology, fire.

Playing with fire was fine until the kids put new batteries in.

They’re gonna burn through those things like crazy.

Wouldn’t it be Gen C (for “Cave dwellers”)?

Must be fire tablets from (the) amazon.

The first Kindle(ing).

On this planet Generation B was actually just after Columbus and Luther.

They download updates using FireWire.

Many seem to have missing eyebrows for some reason. Maybe a new fad.
