AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Software for Performance Evaluations"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 1995, revolves around a group of office workers discussing a new software designed to facilitate performance evaluations. The conversation begins with one worker expressing enthusiasm for the software, which he believes will help managers write more effective evaluations. However, another worker is skeptical, pointing out that the software was created by the same company that produces Fortune Cookies for Canada.

As the conversation progresses, the workers become increasingly frustrated with the software's limitations. One worker complains that it doesn't allow them to use a PC, while another notes that the instructions are unclear. The comic strip concludes with a worker expressing his disappointment and frustration with the software, stating that he didn't think they knew how to use a PC.

Key Points:

• The comic strip highlights the challenges of implementing new technology in the workplace.
• The software's limitations and unclear instructions lead to frustration among the office workers.
• The comic strip pokes fun at the idea that technology can always be used effectively without proper training or understanding.
