Glasbergen Cartoons by Randy Glasbergen for March 15, 2021

To minimize the “ring” around your brain.

Siri says, “I’m sorry, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” One of us is not the best user of the English language!

Relying on a crutch when you don’t need it will turn you into a mental cripple.

The day calculators were allowed in classrooms, was the ruination of thinking. Then came computers and really made society lazy!

I went to school pre-calculators or cellphones. So I used my fingers.

In case we’d ever lose power and not be able to use it. (Like that would ever happen)

When the battery is dead, so are you.

The “knowledge” on your phone could be inaccessible, hacked, or just plain wrong. We study in the hopes of being able to tell the difference.

I attended military training which included calculating the fallout patterns of nuclear weapons detonations. No calculators were allowed… because the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from a nuclear detonation will disable them, along with most other modern electronics. Instantaneous – no cell phones, computers, automobiles with modern electronic ignitions etc., plus the entire electric power grid is toasted. Hence the phrase, bombed back into the stone age.

Since the gocomics cartoon matches glasbergen.com these days, I’ll tell you what happened today. The tooth fairy now wants a photo of the tooth uploaded to Facebook and she pays by Paypal.

Don’t need school, don’t need books, don’t need magazines. Wife knows everything.
