Social philosophy from the funnies

In the "Pickles" comic strip by Brian Crane, Old Gramma says to Old Grammpa, "Listen to this quote by George Orwell...Every generation imagines itself to be more imtelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it. and she adds "Amen" and he says, "Isn't it the truth." In the last panel their little grandson comes to them and says, "I fixed your computer Gramma. You didn't have it plugged in." Isn't it the truth? See my blog "Technology has no destination>"
