− | Randall uses | + | This comic makes fun of clueless computer users. A common response to a computer problem is "maybe it has a virus." Randall uses a {{w|Venn Diagram}} to show that none of these problems are actually caused by a virus. Circles in Venn Diagrams usually overlap, but in this case they don't, meaning that problems that people suspect are virus-caused are never virus-caused. It also means that problems that are actually virus caused are never suspected by people to be caused by a virus. |
− | + | The title text refers to the {{w|technological singularity}}, a point in the future when super-intelligence emerges in computers so they can build themselves with increasing intelligence & the absolute pinnacle of computer science. (See comic [[1084]].) "Defragging" is short for {{w|disk defragmentation}}, an easy, user-friendly action that PC users can undertake to supposedly make their computers run faster. As such, it's a common recommendation for people to defrag their disks; Randall suggests the same clueless users would encounter the singularity and attempt to defrag it. It probably won't help much. | |
