Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

My mom used to rely on me to do anything technical because I was around, and I was pretty good at it. Since I've moved out, she went from calling me all the time about anything to do with the computer to experimenting and learning a bit before she calls me. Overall, I'm proud of her for branching out and doing something challenging. With that being said, the other day I watched her not only print out a website rather than bookmark it, but the way she printed it was by opening word, using print screen to screen cap the site, pasting the screen cap into word and then printing it from word.
Incredible problem solving skills. She knows word is the print program and she figured out how to get the stuff from the internet into the print program!
We grew up with the technology, and understand how it works on a more basic level. But if you don't?
I'm really curious to see what will come along that will fuck with my understanding on the same level.
I've always been pretty curious about what technology will just baffle me, and at what age that tech wall will him me. I'm middle aged and tech is still easy for me. But I know that day will come.
I think it will have to be a completely different paradigm.
The boomers for instance were all into machines... like cars and engines. They services their own car... knew how to tune a timing belt etc. I still see old timers restoring and tinkering with cars or bikes etc.
I'm middle aged too and I think computers and software will always be intuitive. It's our "car engines".
The things which we'll struggle with won't be computer based because we "get" that already. It'll have to be something out of left field for me I think.
