AI Analysis

Title: "Voice Control Frustration"

Summary:

The comic strip depicts a meeting where a man is frustrated with the voice-controlled PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) he is using. The strip consists of three panels, each showing a different stage of the meeting.

Panel 1:

• The man is shown entering appointments into his PDA.
• He says, "It took me three days to enter all of my appointments into this PDA."
• The other men at the table look on, seemingly uninterested.

Panel 2:

• The man announces that he will enter their next meeting on Tuesday at 2 o'clock.
• He holds up his PDA and says, "Tuesday... Two O'clock."
• The other men look confused, and one of them asks, "Is it voice-controlled?"

Panel 3:

• The man responds, "I sure hope so."
• The other men look at him skeptically, and one of them says, "You're not going to make us wait for you to figure it out, are you?"

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea of relying on technology to manage one's schedule, and the potential for frustration when it doesn't work as expected.
