Dependency on mobile phones – cartoon.

People are beginning to rely to an excessive extent on their mobile phone (cell phone) and on digital electronic technology.
This cartoon illustrates this by depicting tourists who are using the sat-nav function of their mobile phones to navigate to a hotel. The gps has stopped working and they don’t know how to find the hotel, even though it’s plainly in full view.

The trouble with virtual reality – cartoon.

As virtual reality simulators become more realistic and immersive, people may lose touch with actual reality.
The cartoon shows a person in a virtual reality headset stepping of the edge of the word ‘reality’ into some sort of unstated post reality void.

How social media in phones filter information – giving the user a ‘phoney’ (or phony) world view

How social media etc via phones and other digital devices reinforce prejudices by filtering information so that the user only sees information that conforms to the user’s existing biases.

The ‘filter bubble’ of social media and other digital technology is similar to the ‘culture bubble’ of real-world travel and peer group opinions and attitudes.

How algorithms in phones filter information, thus giving the user a ‘phoney’ (or phony) world view

How the use of phones and other digital devices reinforce prejudices by filtering information so that the user tends to see only information that conforms to the user’s biases.

It can also be seen as a cartoon about drowning in immersive technology, where the digital world ‘becomes’ real and overwhelms the user in a different way.

A cartoon about virtual reality, the digital-physical interface, electronic worlds, technological overload, information overload

I’d never heard of the phrase ‘Twitter shitter’ previously, however a quick internet search has thrown up a number of examples, all of which seem, surprisingly, to relate to actually going to the toilet. My own use refers to posting unpleasant tweets similar to the activities of internet trolls and suchlike.
