#22 Stranger in a strange land



The Real Invisible often displays a blissful ignorance of things that he should know, like the name of his country's head of state or common technologies relevant to his work as an IT worker. On the other hand he knows in great detail lots of things that most people don't care about. It's hard to say whether he's a prime example of the knowledge gap theory or if this just results of personal (and respectable) choices.

At a time where pointers to most questions are just a couple of clicks away for anyone able to use a computer - and the Real Invisible lives by and for the computer - it's interesting to see that the practical availability of information is not enough to make it actually available for many people.

About your description : I often feel this way, not especially liking what's either on radio or TV (Lady Gaga, yeah no thanx) & not being a fashion victim and all.
Does it get better after Uni ?
How do I find people who are interested in ACTUAL STUFF & not what society mouthfeeds them ?

Sorry I got U stuck w/ the questions of life there lol IDK I thought I'd give it a go as I can really relate to this comic.
