I hate this particular strip (not xkcd of course (which is 60% of the time wonderful) but this specific one).

It anthropomorphises the Rover and we have enough sad news from all over the place to also start to worry about that machine (not even an AI). The next one will be Voyager who is all alone in empty space or whatnot. It is enough that I speak to my computer already.

Are you old enough to remember "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"? Voyager is a major character. In 1979... way before the internet.
