Understanding internet culture

There is a reason John Atkinson at WrongHands has so many followers and his cartoons do the rounds. He has a really good understanding of internet culture and can encapsulate it very easily. With a few words and images he can portray our internet thinking. We are teaching post 2000 students now and a lot of their perceptions are coloured by the internet. We need ways and means of connecting with them and understanding how they make their own connections. The not Newton cartoon is a classic of how to describe something in a social media way. How we portray and perceive things on the internet can be quite different and it provides a layer of comprehension and linguistic complexity which can augment and complement real life as reading books and viewing films do. Enjoy his cartoons. Make sure you link back to his site and acknowledge him if you use the cartoons. That is all asks. Very generous.
