In this sociologically inspired cartoon examining children’s drawings and stories, the imagination-rich pictures of kindergarteners are gradually replaced by drawings done by primary school pupils that envision a fully automated (robotized) everyday life in the spirit of modern technological development. With the passage of the years, teens on the brink of adulthood – keeping their feet firmly on the ground – exhibit a grey, conformist worldview. As one of the boys puts it: “I’m going to be a footballer, or a doctor, or a grocery store deputy manager.”
