Theme 2 Cartoon


So I just finished looking for my now routine cartoon to accompany my theme reaction. And do you know what I realized??! There are a ridiculous amount of cartoons out there that focus on Twitter and Tweeting! Cartoonists have focused on every aspect of Twitter. There are cartoons that depict how Twitter invades a person's life with beeps and Tweets and chirps every few minutes. And for what? A quick update that a friend just sucesssfully crossed the street?! Then there are the truly scary Twitter cartoons: the cartoons that display Twitter's future. Can it be that in a few years or maybe even months in the fast pace, tech savy, world we live in that a mother will no longer question a child why he/she hasn't called, but why he/she didn't Tweet. Who knows maybe the famous line,"It's 10 PM.. Do you know where your children are?," will change to, "It's 10 PM... Do you know where your children are Tweeting from?" Its a crazy thought to me. So of all the cartoons out there, I chose a rather lengthy one, but it is well worth the extra few seconds to read. It does not show the invasiveness of Twitter, but instead depicts one of the most annoying users of Twitter. And in case the cartoon is too tiny to read on screen, I'll provide the link too: http://blog.advorto.com/.a/6a00e5510eef16883301156e4e0c5d970c-800wi
