A Day in the Park

1/11/2025

Ha, maybe it's an age thing, but I did quite enjoy this send up of all things superficial and technological. It's an old gent who is sitting in a park (or is he?) harking back to the civilised days of the 2010s when folks were proud of their iPhone 7; would like their friends Facebook photos out of courtesy and reply to text messages to arrange meeting up. Hell, they'd even hook-up on Tinder to meet for sex (or long term, meaningful, relationships, obviously!). Meantime, his zoned-out grandson looks like he's had his phone surgically implanted onto his completely non-responsive head! Is this portentous, do you think? The animation is quite good fun and the message is quite an entertaining indictment of "progress".
