The Barn by Ralph Hagen for February 11, 2024

Emojis, the new hieroglyphics………….

The more things change, the more they stay the same?

I often refer to my iPhone as a black hole……because it is.

I remember when cell phone companies were in a race to build the smallest phones possible. The smallest one I ever owned with Cellular One was a Sony that was a little over half the size of a pack of cigarettes with a microphone you had to flip down to talk. Now whenever I have to shop for a new phone, I need a tape measure to make sure it will still fit in my pocket as many are the size of a small tablet with features I’ll never use.

From the code to the party line to the let’s party line in 9 panels.

LOL

I’m still at panel 7.

Awwww! Love this! ❤️

The history of the ever changing communication gadget! ☺️☺️☺️

One way or the other …message received‼️

Well done, though sad.

A while back Jay Leno had a competition between a telegrapher and a teen texting, guess who won?

Tech has its’ place. I very much appreciate being able to send my vet a pic of the crisis de jour, that way she can decide what, how much and who she needs to address the issue appropriately. I do NOT need to know about everybody’s aches, pains, in-laws, kids and dinner plans.

Ha! I’m sorry the number you have called is no longer in service….

But you weren’t asked to take a brief survey back then!

I saw where this was going from the first panel. Hagen shouldn’t telegraph the punchline like that.

Brilliant!
