AI Analysis

Title: "The Imbecile Admissions"

Summary:

• The comic strip features Dilbert, a character known for his sarcastic wit, who is tasked with opening a school for individuals who are technology imbeciles.
• Dilbert's approach to teaching is unconventional, as he plans to use outdated technology, such as automatic bank machines, microwave ovens, video recorders, and CD players, to educate his students.
• The strip also includes a humorous exchange between Dilbert and a prospective student, who is impressed by the school's use of a VCR, despite its outdated nature.
• The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of teaching technology to those who are not familiar with it, and the challenges that come with trying to adapt to new technologies.
