Ghosts of Technology

by Wayno & Piraro

Bizarro is brought to you today by Phantoms.

Okay, I admit that this isn’t a hilarious cartoon. But it came from my own personal experience as I actually do this all of the time. I’m so used to hitting “save” on my computer every time I type something that I find myself moving my hand to do it after I write something on paper. I assume others have the same impulse.

Another thing I have is phantom phone calls. I feel my pocket vibrate and I reach for my phone but the phone is asleep and has not just vibrated. I’ve read this is fairly common for cell phone users so I can only imagine that someone out there who has recently experienced an amputation is getting “phantom limb” and phantom phone calls at the same time. What a drag.
