Today I want to present you a cartoon which was published in 2007 on blog called “hashout”.
The cartoon shows a scene in a house. There’s a middle aged, desperate-looking man sitting at a kitchen table. Next to him, in the living room, there is a woman, perhaps his wife who is reading a magazine. The man who is obviously in a depression says that he is looking for the meaning of the life. Instead of helping the man in this hard time of his life, the woman only gives him the advice to try Google. The cartoonist wants to point out that today someone who is looking for help can’t rely on their family and friends like they used to. They have to turn to the internet instead.

Danke im vorraus und liebe grüße

Today I want to present you a cartoon which was published in 2007 on a blog called “hashout”.

The cartoon shows a scene in a house. A middle-aged, desperate-looking man is sitting at a kitchen table. Through the open door we see a woman, perhaps his wife, in the living room. She is reading a magazine.
The depressed man says that he is looking for the meaning of the life. Without raising her eyes from the magazine the woman advises him to try Google.

Instead of helping the man in this obviously difficult phase of life by speaking to, encouraging or consoling him, the woman does not show any interest at all.
The cartoonist wants to point out that nowadays a person who is looking for help cannot necessarily rely on their family and friends like they used to. They have to turn to the internet instead. On top of that he ridicules the blind faith of many people that the internet has all the answers - even those to the essential questions of being.

Danke im Vorraus und liebe Grüße

Hallo tschultschi und willkommen im Forum!

Gern geschehen, ich habe die Reihenfolge etwas geändert: erst nur Beschreibung, dann Interpretation. Und noch ein bisschen am Ausdruck gefeilt. Wähle aus, was Dir gefällt.
Und eine Bitte: achte doch auf die Rechtschreibung auch im Deutschen, hier arbeiten auch Ausländer an ihren Deutschkenntnissen - und auch für uns andere ist es netter zu lesen...

Grüße
Duckduck

Danke für die Korrektur und die Begrüßung.Tut mir Leid wegen meiner Rechtschreibung aber ich kenne sonst kein Forum in dem auf so etwas geachtet wird.
Eine Frage hab ich noch: Was könnte ich noch dazu schreiben/sagen das meine Präsentation länger wird?

Grüße

Eine anständige Rechtschreibung hilft beim Lesen. Ich erlebe es sogar in Spieleforen regelmäßig, dass eine gute Rechtschreibung zu einer angenehmeren Diskussion beiträgt, denn schwer zu lesende Texte erzeugen bei vielen Menschen ein gewisses Maß an Frust, der dann – völlig menschlich – auf den Diskussionspartner oder das Thema projiziert wird. Außerdem geht etwas Sorgfalt bei der Rechtschreibung auch oft mit besser durchdachten Formulierungen einher.

Tja, , dieses Forum ist einzigartig... !

Wenn Deine Präsentation etwas länger sein soll, könntest Du die Beschreibung etwas ausführlicher machen: Also nicht gleich sagen, dass er deprimiert aussieht, sondern seinen Gesichtsausdruck beschreiben, auf die Tasse ohne Untertasse hinweisen, die vor ihm steht -> Hinweis bei der Interpretation auf fehlende Gemütlichkeit. Naja, und das Thema ausweiten, dass zwischen ihm und seiner Frau offenbar kein direkter Draht ist und zweitens den Gedanken, dass manche Menschen meinen, Informationen könnten Emotionen ersetzen. Also, wenn ein mittelalter Mann (midlife-crisis) nach dem Sinn des Lebens sucht, dann braucht er nicht die Antwort 42 (D. Adams: Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis), sondern wohl eher jemanden, der sich mit ihm beschäftigt und ihm Aufmerksamkeit schenkt.

Ende der psychologischen Durchsage.

War was dabei?

Good luck says

Ich weis nicht ob noch jemand meinen Beitrag vor Morgen früh sieht aber hier ist meine nochmal überarbeitete Version:



Today I want to present you a cartoon which was published in 2007 on a blog called „hashout“

The cartoon shows a scene in a house. A middle-aged man is sitting at a kitchen table.
He is desperate-looking and seems to be in a crisis. On the table there is a cup but without a saucer what looks a bit uncomfortable. Through the open door we see a woman, perhaps his wife, in the living room. She is reading a magazine. The depressed man says that he is looking for the meaning of the life. Without raising her eyes from the magazine the woman advises him to try Google.

Instead of helping the man in this obviously difficult phase of life by speaking to, encouraging or consoling him, the woman does not show any interest at all.
I think the cartoonist wants to point out that today a person who needs help cannot necessarily rely on their family and friends like they used to, because in our days many people think information could replace emotions. For example a man in his midlife crisis who asks for the meaning of life does need the answer 42, he needs somebody to talk to.

(Btw. The Answer 42 is a quotation from the book “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, in Germany known under the title “per Anhalter durch die Galaxis” and it’s the ultimate answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything)
These people although think that the internet has all the answers – even those to the essential questions of being.

Another way to interpret this cartoon could be that many people don’t listen closely to the things that were said. The woman only listened to the word searching and answered with Google without knowing what the man is searching.

The cartoon is very sarcastically because it wants to illustrate the absurdness what many people think they could find in the all-knowing internet


@Duckduck: die Idee mit der Antwort 42 find ich genial

Danke für deine Hilfe

( nowadays people just don't listen properly any more due either to lack of time or lack of interest) The woman only listened to the word searching (heard that the man was looking for something and answered with Google) withoutknowing what the man is searching. which proves she just wasn't listening properly

Goodnight and good luck.
