Clever And Funny Computer Wallpapers That We All Need

5. Internet Explorer Taking Revenge

Advertisement

People have treated Internet Explorer, and everyone enjoys mocking the web browser as shown below. The browser seems to say, "enough is enough," though, and now is preparing to exact some retribution before it passes away next year. And did you also notice that at the bottom is a Chrome icon? This wallpaper deftly turns the script on the conventional Internet Explorer jokes, creating a situation whereby the much-neglected browser at last rebels. It's a funny interpretation of the browser battles and the approaching end of Internet Explorer's lifespan. The Chrome icon at the bottom adds even more irony since it implies that even as Internet Explorer gets ready for its last stand, its more contemporary rivals are still lurking in the background. If someone pulled this practical joke, we have only one thing to say: for such wickedness, they merit lifetime misery. We feel afraid. Although the foregoing comment is obviously overblown for comedic effect, it does draw attention to the possibility for pranks involving computer settings to cause actual trouble. Especially for less tech-savvy people, changing someone's desktop to make it seem as though an allegedly dead browser has taken over their machine could be frightening. It reminds us that what one person finds to be a lighthearted jest could cause extreme worry for another. Though artistic, this wallpaper also stimulates conversations about the morality of pranks in shared or professional computing contexts and the need of honouring others' digital domains.
