Reality Check by Dave Whamond for June 15, 2023

Gen Z, the ‘smart’ phone zombies.

That smart phone is trying to put itself out of business.

I like it when Dave ticks off anybody. LOL FYI I’m 62 and addicted to IG and the drugs make me a zombie and my back and knee make me walk like a zombie, so there’s that.

Great one, Dave!

they won’t know about it…..they’re on their phones

Ok boomer

This morning my wife insisted we go outside for our morning walk in the all-time worst ever air quality alert in the Twin Cities. We wore N95 masks, but now my mouth tastes like metal.

If I go outside without my phone, how am I gonna take a selfie?!

Duh! I’ll just bring my iPad!

Solved!

Sounds like a plan.

Except that, all they do is look at their phones wile outside.

Addiction has a hold on society, like no other…

Just take the phone outside. Been out front reading comics on my laptop for the past 45 minutes. The only reason I have my phone with me is for the alarm I set last night, in case I doze off.

The outside ain’t what it used to be.

smart a** phone.

The phone has a mother board.

Why is it that whenever I hear the term “smart phone” I see shopping mall water fountains in my mind’s eye …?

Smart Alexa has turned into Smart Aleck.

Another mother added to the software programmer department.

You mean polluted air?

It’s a beautiful day up in the pines. The sky is blue not a cloud in sight. 74 degrees…but the yellow pine pollen is covering everything. Probably another two weeks before it’s gone.

That’s Siri’s and Alexa’s job…

This cartoon reminds me of a theme song of a sho I watched when I was younger. When I was a kid I watched a show on the BBC called “Why Don’t You?”. It was unique because it was presented by other kids. The funny thing about it for me was the ironic lyrics of the theme song, “Why don’t you just turn off your TV set and do something less boring instead?” The lyrics were almost telling you not to watch the show. Despite this it has become one of the BBC’s longest running kid’s shows running from 1973 until 1995 over 42 series. Good thing nobody took the lyrics seriously.

“Just saying” should be followed by a head explosion, literally. A phrase coined by cowards who want to say something but are afraid someone will disagree with them
