Whoa, what do you want? No progress at all? This has happened with every succeeding generation and will continue to happen. That’s why it’s called progress. New things are developed and embraced by the coming generation and the old things are passed by on the wayside.
One of the reasons I refuse to “upgrade” to a smartphone… Everyone I see with one cannot seem to put it down, and they are constantly staring at their device in their hand, oblivious to everything else around them. I’ve seen so many people distracted by their devices that they become a danger to not only themselves, but to everyone else around them. How many people walk into walls, poles, or other people while ambulatory because of their smartphones? How many people are menaces behind the wheel while mobile, again because of their communication devices that they cannot put down?I say smart phones are for stupid people.
some of us can’t even chew gum and walk at the same time. and, wonder how many of us are actually doing something else during a church service when we have our smartphones and tablets in front of us.
Note the stooped, hunched posture and the firm grasp on the tool of survival. Now note the caveman. See any similarities? Looks like the Theory of Devolution.
I’m really curious what will happen when that generation comes up for air and realizes that there’s no one left to clean their house, earn their living, shop for their food or, HORRORS!, fix their phones or make new ones when theirs die. I have a vision of large groups of people sitting around, phone in hand, hopelessly pushing buttons on phones that will never again answer the call (no pun intended.)

You can Bold by hitting the * key on each side of what you want to emphasize in bold letters. For italization hit the underscore _ key on each side of what you want . To quote comments, all you have to do is copy and paste
BRO, um, you could just say you like it…Four letters….How hard is that? BTW, I like this cartoon too….Hell, I like all of his strips…It goes without saying, to me….

I think everyone should write gocomics for a thumbs up/down button for all strips and comments. I have already, with no reply.

Your point is demonstrated by “universal accessories” for motorcycles. They fit every bike, equally poorly. :-)
