Explanation

This is one of 46 incomplete explanations: User:Novotvor has discovered 2 new comics, ibm hc 2 and ibm hc 3. They do not have a title, so the filename is used instead. They have never been published. For more info, see Category talk: A Smarter Planet. To discuss and coordinate, only use Category talk: A Smarter Planet. Below is the text copied from Prescriptions to kickstart the page. Explain everything (both the joke and the discovery) and use all the information you can find (also add the missing categories). Learn more about the discovery: Category talk: A Smarter Planet Learn about the "A Smarter Planet" comic series: Category:A Smarter Planet Learn about the two released comics: Conservation and Prescriptions Use the Wayback Machine if necessary (Wayback: ibm hc 2) (Wayback: ibm hc 3). (see more wayback machine links at Category: A Smarter Planet.) If you can fix this issue, edit the page!

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

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 phone 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 it is anything like that.

Normally with lost media there's a whole story to be told about the quest to find it, but here, we didn't even know it was lost in the first place. This existing is just wild to me. 108.162.238.9 21:17, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
