lol @ shakespeare's 'my old rubbish' 
i think collins is trying 2 say that our fave old books & songs r not as cool 2 us no more cuz of all the new stuff out there, but in a funny way. like, who hasn't scrolled thru their internet history 4 hours 2nite 
and just laughed @ how much rubbish they used 2 watch? it's like shakespeare is saying "hey kids, dont fall 4 that online hype" but in a witty, cartoonish way

gotta give props to collins for making a point about our internet culture 
I feel like this cartoon is actually kinda fitting for today's online landscape tbh. I mean, think about it - we're still getting 'clickbait' headlines and 'viral challenges' that are just a recipe for disaster 
. Shakespeare might've written some of the greatest plays ever, but I'm pretty sure he'd be like " omg dont watch that cat video its ruining ur life lol" 
. So Shakespeare's trying to warn kids about the dangers of the internet, but he's using old-fashioned language that's kinda...ironic? Like, if you're gonna talk about the state of modern media, maybe use some modern slang? 
It's like, if I were Stephen Collins, I'd make fun of how Shakespeare is being all out of touch with current events. But at the same time, it's kinda cool that people are still talking about his stuff 400+ years later 
. Maybe we should just take a step back and have an actual conversation about online safety instead of relying on memes? 
. And let's be real, who hasn't spent hours scrolling through their browser history, wondering where all that time went?
