Hoy Hoy

I decided to make a comic based on the discussion from class regarding the telephone and how it fit into people’s lives. Instead of using the telephone I based my commentary on Facebook and the customary protocol.

Some of the dialogue has imagery. There are 8 “pages”. Sorry I didn’t add times to the “posts” in the pages. They would have helped.

Homer: Doh! If we were in Tanzania you wouldn’t have this technology.
Marge: But we’re in Springfield. Facebook is a part of our culture.
Homer: Marge, you’re such a social constructivist. Just because our culture has this technology doesn’t mean I should be held accountable.
Marge: I’m coming to get you.
