On this cartoon, we can see two men in an office, one of them is sitting in front of a computer perhaps he's surfing the Net and he seems joyful. The second doesn't smile and is standing upright, waiting or listening to the other. We can note that they're wearing the same clothes ( a green T-shirt and a blue jean) as if it were the uniform of their company.
The picture can be understood as a criticism of the internet which might become an addiction or which incit to believe in an other world which doesn't exist and to forget real life with real people. The senselessness of this situation is that the man who is addicted to Internet, wants to kick his habits on internets anonymous and he does it on the Internet ! This cartoon aims to warn Internet users to be watchful about this kind of ridiculous circumstance.
This cartoon is representative of today's world and of our society absolutely conditioned by the new technologies, in particular with all things that the Internet propose. More and more people use these possibilities but they don't know the risks.
I don't feel concerned by this drawing because I'm very glad to be able to go on a lot of websites, on on-line activities but I'm not addicted to them. I know that in our time, everybody needs to access it but there's a difference between to be completely dependent on the Internet and just to take benefit from it !
Of course, the problem of Internet addiction is really serious and major and this sort of picture is something interesting, because it shows the absurdity of the dependence thanks to irony and humour. The people could understand a little bit more than with a long and annoying speech.
