This comic was created by [[Randall Munroe|Randall]] after a special request from {{w|IBM}}'s [http://asmarterplanet.com A Smarter Planet blog] (now defunct, [https://web.archive.org/web/20161119052748/http://asmarterplanet.com archive]). The website now redirects to IBM's Think blog's homepage. This and the other [[:Category:A Smarter Planet|A Smarter Planet]] comic, [[Conservation]], are not part of the regular numbered series of comics, but both of them used to be featured on [https://xkcd.com/asmarterplanet xkcd.com/asmarterplanet] (now defunct, [https://web.archive.org/web/20190102070937/https://xkcd.com/asmarterplanet/ archive]). Each comic on that page linked to their respective blog posts on IBM's site.

Megan (presumably) is ranting about how bureaucracy has slowed the introduction of computers to information transmission. She uses the metaphor of hiring Peter Jackson (producer of Lord of the Rings movie series) to answer phones. The other characters use similar metaphors, then realize the metaphor doesn't really apply.

==Transcript==

:Megan: We barely use computers. Red tape, paperwork, and bureaucracy should be vanishing, with information appearing where we need it, fast and secure.

:Megan: Instead we're emailing scans of forms. It's like hiring Peter Jackson to answer phones at your studio.

:Cueball: Or putting Tiger Woods on your Olympic swim team 

:Ponytail: Or hiring a German porn star to do Hungarian ballet. 

:Megan: Is it really like that?

:Cueball: Yeah, I don't think anything's like that.
