Shooting Stars in the Digital Sky: A Rebellious Journey Between Reality and the Virtual

The story of a man leaving the office late at night tells one of modern times’ greatest paradoxes: the crazy imbalance between social media and work life.

Our man, lost among reports and spreadsheets, longs for the colorful world of social media. But as a star shoots across the sky, a perfect idea strikes him: “I quit!”

This cartoon actually represents that little rebellious voice inside all of us. The voice that urges us to stand up from our monitors and explore the beauties of the real world. When social media icons merge with stars, we realize how blurred the boundaries of the virtual world are. Perhaps that’s why, when we look up at the night sky, our eyes search for social media icons.

What about you? Do you also feel overwhelmed by work stress and wish to follow the ‘X’ icon across the sky? Or do you find yourself watching LinkedIn profiles as stars shoot by? Maybe it’s better to show a little courage and turn towards real stars, real lives. Who knows, perhaps making a wish on a real shooting star is more valuable than getting lost among social media icons.

This cartoon humorously addresses the irony of modern life and reminds us that sometimes the best ‘connection’ is with the real world. What do you think? Will you follow your social media stars, or will you chase after the real stars?
