Cartoon Violence Thinks of the Children—This Wonkette piece reminded me of my tech analysis of
New Yorker cartoons. There's not much in the PowerPoint, but I asked students the same sorts of questions as they looked at how children interact with technologies in the cartoons. The same assignment could be done looking at gender, age, and race (though that will be a short study). I have a PowerPoint of the cartoons that I use, but since they're copyrighted, I can't post it. You could easily do the assignment with the book however:
The New Yorker Book of Technology Cartoons.
