The problem with modern technology jokes is that they literally have not changed since the smartphone became mainstream.
A character simply taking a selfie is seen as a joke. Simply referencing something modern without an actual punchline.

I think the only criticism I have about modern tech in cartoons/whatever is that it all looks so boring from a visual/silhouette standpoint. Older tech is clunkier, had to interacted with differently, and (again) provided more interesting silhouettes when characters carried them around.

Nowadays, if a character pulls out their phone, it's just a square. And when the use their phone record something, they're just holding out a square. And when they talk to someone on their phone, they're holding a square to their head. And when they're showing someone else a thing on their phone, they're just dragging their thumb across a square.
In comparison it's a lot more interesting to see a character flip open a cell phone, mash buttons on a house phone, screw around with a rotary, lug around boomboxes or giant camcorders (bonus points for microphone extension), pull out/insert a disc, screw around with a vhs player that churns audible noise, etc. With modern tech, it doesn't feel like there's as much opportunity for small bits of character expression thorough the way said characters interact with strange, yet mundane objects.

That's because zoomers don't develop their observation skills.
A smartphone has many inconveniences that can be used for comedy or for plot purposes:
>Wet hand's can't interact
>Screen full of creaks
>Forgetting to turn off the alarm
>Scam Valls
>Sending pictures by mistake
>Watch something embarassing, turn off the screen, forget about It then realize too late when you want to show something to a friend on your phone
>Forget to turn on bluetooth when you're using airpods, now the whole bus can enjoy your anime OST
>Low battery
>Can't see shit in sunlight
>10 chargers in the room but none compatible with your phone
>Memory full, don't know what to delete
>Takes dรฉcades to turn on
And so on

I don't recall '90s cartoons being nearly that blatantly referential, except perhaps Animaniacs and that was kind of their thing. But that pic is clearly being deliberately hyperbolic for engagement purposes anyway.

The smarphone/social media use thing is a bit of an unknown because it's such a recent societal development. Will it be like cars and TVs and still just a normal everyday thing a decades in the future? Or will those things be superseded or abandoned and seeing them in media will be more like seeing a floppy disc or a pager? Will it need to be explained to future audiences what facebook or an influencer was? It's easy to presume not, but the future is very unpredictable.

Bro found like 3 people who said this and thinks everyone on the entire planet is like them.

Just like what you want to and don't worry about what others say.
Take it from me, I don't like a lot of stuff and I dunk on them all the time, the people I'm replying to don't have to take what I say as fact, it's the internet after all everyone says their opinions even if some people don't like it. If they enjoy it, more power to them.

Just learn to ignore, because some mfs will lie out their asses just to one up you.

You're right, but that won't stop twitteretards from being outraged by it.
