Call me old fashioned, but I still prefer to masterbate in bed, next to my fiancee, while she is sleeping.
^ Thanks for sharing.
You need a new fiance.
Well this is pure bullsh*t.
Music: The sony Walkman came out in 1979. MP3s have been popular since the early '90s.
Movies: video tapes have been out since the 80s. DVDs since early 90s. DVD-ROM drives were cheaper than standalone DVD machines, and many people started watching DVDs on computers.
Contacting people: Instant messaging has been around since the 60's. Skype came out in the early 2000's. Email has been around since the stone age (at least it seems like it.)
Reading the news: BBS and early online sites have been around for decades. Sites like Compuserve and AOL have been providing news online well before 15 years ago.
Making music: The midi standard came out in the early 80's. Computers have been used in making music soon after that.
As far as masturbation: Porn has been online soon after the computer was invented. Porn has pretty much always been on the cutting edge of technology.
So what is the point of this topic?

Hmm I'm not a mind reader, so I don't know FOR SURE what the OP intended. IF HOWEVER, his intention was to fish for people who have a congenital complete lack of sense of humor, I think he found at least one.

HAHAHA!!! That's Awesome!
I do the same. Surprised we haven't crossed paths.
I like how all the drawings in the right column are the
same except for the last one that differs in one detail.

But.... She's actually awake waiting for you to finish and fall asleep so she can get started on herself.

Best answer of the year, perhaps the century!!
I think the time table is a little off.
MP3 was not puplar until ipod, which came out during the early 2000's. You're a decade ahead.
Video Tapes have being out since the 70's. So you're a decade behind.
DVD didn't hit the shelf till the mid 1990's and wasn't affordable till late 1990's.
DVD ROM drives is worthless without a computer, and the good old TV DVD set up is much cheaper than a computer, and still is.
Consumer level computer music editing wasn't available till the late 1990's.
Porn has been online since the computer was invented, during apollo missions?
I know people talked about crossing dimensions... than again, why call a funny piece of art bullshit when it was designed to entertain.
A bit off, MP3s became popular in the late 90s. The ipod was late to the game. Winamp was released in 97 or 98, I believe.
Late 70s vs early 80s, half decade off. DVDs were affordable (depending on your definition of "affordable") pretty much when released. It was the DVD players that were expensive.
So you think computers were invented in the last 15 years? Computers were widespread in the mid 90s (remember Windows 95?). All it took was to upgrade to a DVD-ROM drive, which cost a few hundred dollars, vs the early consumer DVD players which were closer to $1000. I remember lots of discussions about playing DVDs on computers as a cheaper way of watching them, especially since the software could be gotten for "free."
Wrong again. Consumer music software was available in the 80s. Several programs were available for the Atari ST and Amiga, for example.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was. I remember seeing ASCII porn in the early 80s. Yeah, quality sucked, but it was still available.
Well, usually humour is based on truth, and there is no truth to this cartoon. That's why I didn't find it humorous at all. In fact, it struck me as being about 15 years out of date. That was the point of my rant. Computers have been around for a long time now, and have changed the way we have been doing things long before "today." In fact, as some pundits have postulated, we are in a "post-pc" era now, and the "Today" panels should have shown someone using a smartphone or tablet rather than a desktop pc. That is how far off that cartoon is.
So yeah, I guess if you have a low standard for humour and have been in a coma for the last 15 years, you might have found that cartoon funny. I just found it perplexing since it seemed so out of date that I didn't really see the humour or the point of it.
bazinga!!
