Rehugo Anaylsis: Cartoon

A. Cartoon attached above.

B. This cartoon is ironic in how it shows how social networking has changed how people interact with other people in real life. Social networking sites, such as Facebook, have become a huge influence in todays' culture. Children, teens and adults find enjoyment in the interacting with others on social networking sites.

C. This image has the couple facing away from one another, concentrated on their own computers, not interacting with one another. This is significant in that it shows how unsocial social networking sites have actually made us. Nowadays, there are people out there who are more concerned with how many Facebook friends they have and view all their posts and updates, rather than actually going out to a movie or dinner with friends. This recent technological advancement has taken its toll on people and changed our views of our "social lives."

D. I find this cartoon to be quite humerus because the situation being depicted often happens in real life. Many couples, friends, and roommates sit in the same room while both parties are participate in some sort of social networking activity. Social networking has consumed the lives of many people in today's world.
