“That’s a seriously depressing cartoon. But it’s made me decide to put down the phone (after tweeting this!) and ensure that my Sunday is spent with my neck straight and my head up,” he tweeted along with the cartoon. Titled “Nursing home in a post-texting world” the image imagines what the future world may look like.
