Even with the notes, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Why would you illustrate communication problems with people who literally don't speak the same language?

- ChrisMarshallNY 1y agoIt’s almost impossible to understand, just from looking at the comic. Some of his comics are like that. I stared at it for quite a while, before it “clicked.” Once it did, the message was obvious. The PowerPoint was designed to be presented. It’s not particularly useful, just being read. It really needs a narrator that can explain the concepts. The idea is that it’s possible to communicate effectively, even when it seems impossible, as long as we are willing to take responsibility for the message, and figure out how to make it work. In order to do that, we need to understand the message, the recipient, the context, and the medium. It also shows how we can lose the message, when we get sidetracked by the messenger or the medium.

- mmooss 1y ago> people who literally don't speak the same language? That's not my understanding of the XKCD comic, if that's what you mean. Also, I don't find the comic to be hard to understand. It takes a little work but it's pretty clear.
