I’m of a generation that will continue to call them mikes. It lets you know the correct pronunciation. Mic looks like it would be pronounced mick – a derogatory term for an Irishman. I don’t think it is because of the % of Irish ancestors in my gene pool. It is more likely the pronunciation issue. But, as an old fogy I’m tempted to blame the younger generation for being lazy and wanting drop the number of letters from four to three to avoid the extra work.

Unfortunately the people who should be muted generally aren’t, and those who should be heard frequently can not be, due to those who should be muted.
I forgot, were we talking about zoom calls, or politics.

I was already thinking of that punchline in panel 3. Still funny, though.

Now that’s funny. I always check my audio and video for a Zoom meeting. But, many don’t.

Tsk, tsk. And after all that trouble to get an LLM AI chatbot to come up with those 42 reasons.
By the way, strike off “superior command of communications technology”. :)
