The visual elements of this cartoon is the kid sitting at the table with his two parents. Normally families will chat about what they did at school or at work. The caption at the bottom says, "Well yes, we could read your blog... or you could just tell us about your day." The cartoon is talking about how much technology there is and how much sometimes it can be un-necessary. When technology stops verbal communication it has gone to far. The artist is using the blog to represent one thing but there is so much more that could happen. Walking could become out-dated, along with any other mode of communication. It shows how technology is effecting young kids and will make their lives a bit to easy. The cartoonist opinion that technology isn't all bad, but sometimes it ca be used to an excess. S/he probably knows a lot of people who are constantly blogging or on the phone. My evidence is that normal daily lives are going to start to change. Normally, the kid would just tell his parents what he did, but instead he is telling them to read his blog. This cartoon is ironic because we are posting it on our blog and also because the cite Coyle got it from was www.sandiegohomeBLOG.com. I think to make the cartoon more effective he could have had the sonn on the phone or on a laptop instead or something along the lines of that.
