      “We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s microwave’s extended warranty.”

      Dammit! I was going to make that joke! Stop proving that I’m completely unoriginal, and it’s all been done before!

      There was an echo to these words, it was impossible to focus. “Hello, hello?” Rang in the distance. As if in some great underwater tunnel.

      “I didn’t order any pizza” you respond. The voice becomes silent. Slowly a sense of panic rises. “Is this important?” The urgency in callers voice feels like a mountain of pressure squeezing you and crushing. But you have no ability to communicate, not now. Maybe not ever again.

      An urgent voice enters your ear again but you cannot decipher it this time. The syllables are all over the place. A jumbled mess. Some foreign language and yet very familiar. You want to say something but only a series of sounds come out of your mouth. They make perfect sense. You just discovered a higher form of communication.

    I’m pretty sure this comic took its idea from an old vine

      もしもし。電子レンジさんです

      Apparently 電子(でんし)レンジ (electronic + cooking stove) is the term for microwave. Did not know.

      Am I showing off the Japanese keyboard I have? Yes, yes I am. Do I know much Japanese? Gods no.

    After a decade or two of increasingly bad reality TV , holding the phone like a phone seems weird.

        Yeah, ahead of its time, but side talking was so silly. I’m going to take a stab and say OP is talking about the people who put their phone on speaker and hold it like it’s a bagel they’re about to bite.

    Seems like you gotta have your phone on you at all times because everything requires an app. Gotta use an app to control my TV. Gotta use an app to talk to my grankids. Gotta have an app to run the freezer. App. App. App. What they need to do is start building the damned apps into the appliances, that way you can just push some buttons or tap a screen right on the device to control it.

      But then they can’t steal your all encompassing data.

      Just wait until your toilet will have weight sensors inside the bowl, and will tweet out how much your shit weighs in realtime.

      You think I’m joking, but just watch. This world is getting real stupid. Cars used to come with a manual, that had a section on how to change your own oil and radiator fluid. Now cars come with a manual that has a disclaimer to warn that “auto pilot mode” is just a slightly more advanced version of cruise control, and still requires the driver to be awake and alart of the road as the driver. Regardless of if the speed is automated.
