Dilbert comic analysis

Dilbert is a comic strip written by Scott Adams. The character Dilbert was created by him based on his various coworkers over the years. The comic strips generally talks about Dilbert in his office and his personal life. He basically stresses on normal life situations. One of the themes I am concentrating is that he supports all the technologies there is and how it is affecting us.


This comic strip talks about how Dilbert has nothing to do because his cable, television and internet were not working so instead had to stare at the wall so as to go to sleep. This actually shows how depended we are on technology that without that we nothing to do or don’t want to do anything other than that. This strip highlights how the technology has become a very crucial and important part of our lives that we can’t live without it.


The above comic strip is also something on the same lines as the previous comic strip. In this Dilbert is in love with his cellphone. He likes it so much that when the therapist asks him about that he says it is a better than another person. Here he implies a joke based on that when the therapist tells him that the phone is like a woman to him he says it’s better as he cellphone doesn’t judge. He goes to the therapist that shows that he knows that he has a problem because he loves his phone but he doesn’t mind and in fact likes that. This tells that we know we are so attached to technology that we are actually drifting away from people around us but we don’t really mind it.


The above comic strip talks about how technology is fast growing and the prior technology become old and obsolete very fast. Dilbert tells to his customer that he is outdated to use a fax machine to send information. As the technology is changes we also have to be updated so as to be in power with others.


The above comic tells how each new technology or invention is first seen as a stupid idea and then so world famously accepted. He actually compares a weird cellphone in a shape of an old man with how people would have thought light bulbs when invented would have been thought of as a weird invention.


In this comic strip Dilbert tells his boss that a robot from future has come through a time machine to destroy their company. Then he says that while one of the technologies is mastered the other can still use some work on as it doesn’t function properly and complete the task for which it was made and send
