Technology and School

The main visual elements of this cartoon are the mom and dad and the small kids faces and the writing at the bottom. This cartoon i think is trying to say that technology is becoming to depended on for kids and maybe even schools. I think the cartoonist feels that kids use to much technology and don't trouble to take the time to talk to especially their parents about their lives. Some evidence that supports my theory is the way the parents look at the kid and that the word "tell" in the writing is underlined. This cartoon ironic because the younger kid is the person that is using technology and the older parents don't seem to want to even though most people would think that the parents would use more technology and the young kid wouldn't. The cartoon relates to our study because its showing how technology is being used by the newer generation and it shows the conflict between the two generations. I think that if the cartoonist could have shown that the kid was using technology maybe even at the table it could have enhanced the affect.
