Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for November 30, 2016

When humans communicate with each other, humans become too, say human. Maybe sticking with emojis is better.

Yes, indeed, the goal is less communication.

Hmm…NTYMI…

I went with a friend to help him pick up an freezer he bought on craig’s. He’s in the car and sends a text to the seller, a text comes back and the car vocalizes it!!! I asked him why he just didn’t call! He looked at me as if I were mentally challenged! INSANE!

So… drawing a comic strip is really old school.

sitting at a bus stop I watched two teenage boys interact. One was sitting with a smartphone and the other was walking; he stopped to say hello.

Neither boy made much eye contact with the other, they were too busy with their smartphones.

I think we need to either kill the smartphones before they do us in. Also, …..

whoops wait a second got a whatsapp…..

I’ll finish later…

One of them got it…and it wasn’t Brewster.

@ Bruno: what you were referring to was called “newspeak”, and it was doubleplusgood.

Yur al write! Watz ridiculuz though is peepul who klaim it uffects spelin skilz — no weigh

Like the evolution from jazz to rap. Fewer notes saying less and less till you get to a single persistent sound that is worse than silence. It will be sad when words are the same and what we communicate is reflective what we can understand – nothing. Sad

I remember reading a science fiction story long ago where the aliens language consisted of the single word “Mun”, spoken with various intonations and accents.
