Here are some Comics from the NY times (Sun, Aug 1) that I liked and found interesting:

Wow. Starting to feel old. Why? Because in my short 22.5 years, so much has changed in technology / media. I remember my first cell phone that I got in 8th grade and it was big and looked much like a landline phone does now, and now phones are slim & sleek and connect to the internet and all sorts of cool things. Mine called & received calls. Period. And kids in kindergarten have them. wow. I'm somewhat confused about the one about MTV, because I don't watch a lot of MTV, and I totally did not know that they don't show music videos anymore? Please confirm or deny. MTV in Europe still does...please explain. Oh, and facebook. I remember when I got on it before my freshman year in college. Wow, that was a loooooooong time ago (ok, 4 years, but it *seems* like a long time ago). Anyways, it presents an interesting thing about this generation: that people sometimes connect more over technology than in person. I like how in the Phineas & Ferb "public service commercial" (on Disney), it encourages kids to get off the computer and spend time with "real friends." So true. It seems like all teenagers do is text. (yes, I can say that because I am NOT a teen! hehehe. One's 20th birthday is so great).
