A man and a woman are sitting in their living room, with their dog at their feet. They are probably a married couple. They are both reading rosetta stones.
Couples sitting and reading often will be reading books or newspapers, rather than stone tablets that look like the rosetta stone.
Why are the people reading stone tablets that look like rosetta stones?
There's something about holding a rock in your hands that newspapers can't replace.

A joke about the progression of technology: people will often say that there's something about reading on physical paper that digital devices can't replicate. But here, paper is re-framed as the new, underwhelming tech, and these folks are committed to the feel of reading on rocks. It's a funny re-framing, and also funny to think about how these modern looking people could possibly have gotten used to reading on rock tablets initially.
