Description

Here is a transcription of the text from the comic:

Panel 1: "My clothing, my home decorations, the mug on my desk… all of them are part of the internet of things."

Panel 2: "They communicate with a database that predicts which baseball teams are currently most likely to win the World Series, then they change their display to the current leader."

Panel 3: "My wall-hangings even switch to faces of beloved team members from the past or crucial moments from team history!"

Panel 4: "When there’s no clear leader, the software uses a genetic algorithm to spawn hybrid memorabilia."

Panel 5: "This will completely disrupt the sports fandom business. No longer shall we be forced to pick and choose from teams created by corporate overlords!"

Panel 6: "We can live the dream of always supporting the winning team!"

Panel 7: "You’ve designated a satisfactory institution as a problem, just so you can offer an expensive solution to people who think technology will make them happy."

Panel 8: "Sorry! I can't hear you through all this venture capital!"
