I feel like this comic is trying to show how the world has changed and how it continues to change over time.  Huxley feared what our modern world is becoming.  We are always so preoccupied with our own things and lives; we almost ignore all the different things going on around us.  This makes me think about the statement, “Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us.”  Will we become so preoccupied with our lives that we will not see the things changing around us or what is happening to us?  Will we or are we easily controlled by the things we love or are slowly becoming attached or addicted to?  It honestly scares me to think about all that.

Also I feel like Orwell focuses on what was feared before our lives filled up with technology and such.  People were more afraid of weapons and probably other people as well and over the years many things changed and began to fill up our time.  Like someone mentioned in our class discussion about helping others, “we do not have time.”  I feel that this is completely correct; we are always going somewhere or doing something.  For example, in the bystander effect video, everyone was rushing past barely paying any attention to the person in need of help.  I do not know if I personally would have helped or at least the thought of not helping would cross my mind.  But, I would feel guilty if I did not help so, who knows I might ask what is wrong and see if I can help in any way.  Now I might keep my distance in case there was any chance of me getting hurt.

I personally like how the article was chosen to be a web comic.  I think it was chosen because in my opinion it makes it more interesting than just reading a plain article like a newspaper and it might get more views.  The pictures bring some entertainment as well as helps out with the understanding of the message being displayed.
